Searching for the Right Shade of Green
December 31, 2021 | By Ben Colón-Emeric TD ‘22
Everywhere along the paths of Trail Wood wildness seems near at hand. But nowhere else do we feel so remote from the world as here beside this woodland brook as it traces its serpentine course among the mosses and ferns and trees. So wild does this setting seem that one August day I even brought along an aluminum pie tin and at the little gravel bar above the ford panned for gold.
– Edwin Way Teale, “A Naturalist Buys an Old Farm”
A Prayer for Disturbance
Feb 20, 2021 | By Ben Colon-Emeric, TD ‘22
The church calendar is largely satisfying to look at … but Lent has always disturbed me. Two large blocks of green Ordinary Time take up most of the year, punctuated by the white of the Christmas and Easter seasons. But this orderly and pleasant calendar is marred by a large block of purple that sits there like a bruise.
