What a blessing to have all this support for my ordination as priest (in curacy) at St Ursula's Church Berne of the Diocese in Europe. (BTW I keep my job at @unifr.bsky.social in the Biblical studies department!).

Need a study/writing break? I love the beginning of Marc Johnson's album "Bass Desires," which opens with a killer intro in "Crossing the Corpus Callosum". Intriguing title with intricate mixing. Best heard with headphones 😉(The rest of the album is a little more 'normal'.)

Good publicity from a U2 song (Indian Summer Sky) heard today:
Will light a way
Up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
On this the longest day
Will light a way
Up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
