In my latest blogging venture, I’ll be writing regularly (under the oh-so-original title “Claire’s Corner” – let it never be said I was good at naming things) for RE: NEW‘s website. Renew is the youth-oriented branch of Presence, a San-Diego based Chinese ministry, and its goal is to inspire and provide a forum for Christian [...]

23 today. How sudden the world is, how splendid, and how sad. I’m coming, I think, more fully to who I am, but part of this is realizing, as I face my own stripped-bare soul in the harsh light of growing up and facing difficulties, how limited I am – how broken. I do not [...]

Recovering from being extremely ill is a strange sensation. It’s like being felled in a war, and then waking up to find that your body and your home and your affairs have gone into complete disarray without you, and you must rebuild and put everything back into order. I feel human again for the first [...]

Traveling made her feel at home in a way nothing else did. Only in movement could she experience consistently the sense of magic, completion, wonder that came only sporadically when she was still.

Just got home. Ate practically nothing all day except cake (though Ms. Deloughrey did provide me with a samosa mmm) so I am now eating baked beans and leftover omelet…at 8 pm. Sigh C, your eating schedule will never right itself will it? Listening to Lily Allen’s “Who’d Have Known” as I do on practically [...]

The weather acted upon her strangely. She was unfocused and at ease, yet a lucid clarity of vision came to her so that when she spoke, her words came out with the unfiltered honesty of wisdom. The air floated in through the window with a hint of magic and sleepy adventure, and she felt herself [...]

Things done today: DB article. Dramafever review. Mopping (kitchen floor). Cleaned out the refrigerator. Now off to dinner with the Ames and then back to watch the Doctor Who Christmas special with Adeline. Life is good. Even if I am slightly stressed about a hundred different things. Yet I know I’m super blessed with good [...]
