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.
Day
December 27, 2022 | Justin Ferrugia TD ‘23+1
“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.
Living Faith
March 8, 2021 | By Gabbi Zegers
“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:18-20
Lay My Head Down
From Taylor Leonhardt's album River House, the understated song "Lay My Head Down" struck me for the simplicity and honesty of its lyrics, along with its soothing chord movements. "Lay My Head Down" speaks to the overworked, anxious Yale student (me), who is constantly being badgered by internal voices questioning self-worth, meaning and ultimate purpose. The unusually direct and honest opening lines of the song that call out this voice of pride catches the listener somewhat off-guard, and opens us up to the realization that the "climb to progress", a truly tautological wordplay, is a road to nowhere.
