Dream Job

I’m 30, and my life is perfect.
To One Kneeling Down No Word Came
December 27, 2022 | Jonathan Chan
For the last four years, I have been haunted by the voice of R. S. Thomas. An Anglican priest who tended to a parish in Wales, Thomas was also a poet. His poems have stood as lodestones in the corners of my mind each time I have prayed, or sat down to write a poem of my own.
Our Meander
December 27, 2022 | Lukas Bacho SM ‘25
During my first semester at Yale, I made a habit of walking up to the Divinity School just before each of our three breaks: October, Thanksgiving, and Winter. There’s a labyrinth there, carved into the stone of a courtyard just behind Marquand Chapel.
Day

“Do the work!” This has become a command of the historically underrepresented, oppressed, and marginalized to their allies and others. It can be meant as a call to action, a cry for help, and an expression of the deep desire for change — for movement towards justice.

In pediatrics, there’s a thing called milestones. We love talking to families and children about them. Drawing a square. Tying shoe laces. Learning how to ride a bike. They’re markers of growth in a child’s development. At every annual physical exam, we check in on how they’re doing in school, what fruits and vegetables they like, how much exercise they’re getting. We love to learn about their interests, like art or music. We measure their height and weight. We show them how much they’ve grown.
