Paths and empty halls
Paths and empty halls
-by Nathalie Roy
Whichever way I walk,
I would come upon an empty hall.
There's a path to the front door of my house
that leads down a slope to the river,
The River of Abundance and Time.
She's frozen over now, in most places.
Coyotes cross over in the night.
Ice feathers cling to Her.
Rising early, I can...

Only the Living Die: A Year of Reckoning
Live in Joshua Tree: March 7 & 8
In time of yore, most people went to the desert reluctantly. Ekvballai, 'driven out': that's what it took to get there: a God at your heels, or in your rafters, just apounding. Or a vision. Or crying after one, for want of reasons why a life does...

Gone.
That's a sure sign that something happened, out there beyond the reach of the busy mind.
Gone. It's good practice for The Big One.
Two nights ago, the coldest of the year by far, we ignored Boss' barking - the last time we do that - and stayed warm inside. An hour later, satisfied and ready...

Live in Joshua Tree: March 7 & 8
For most village people, for many centuries or most, the desert was a place you went to for extremes, when your life was calling out for some kind of edge by which to find its centre. The desert was a place of drastic clarity, where...
He’s not done yet … 2025
Nathalie's dream is coming true.
We're creating a Scriptorium around Stephen Jenkinson’s collected work. The Boreal Sessions will be in-person scriptorium labour. We are hard at it, creating an online Library and Colloquium and, in good time, we may be able to offer a collection of hand-crafted books based on decades of Stephen's talks, including Orphan Wisdom...
WINTER ATTENTION
A PUBLIC LIFE. A LIFE’S WORK.
WINTER HOUSE KEEPING
December 19, 2024
Dearest greetings to you,
These cold, clear, dark days have inspired a bit of Winter house keeping. Many of you will have received a newsletter, sent out back in April of this year introducing me, Khadija as a new member of the Orphan Wisdom team.
The correspondence and the conversations with you all have been...
BURGUNDY
HOW IT ALL COULD BE
November 26th, 2024
Inescapable truths have always struck me less like executioners and more like angels. Wrestle your executioner if you will, but the best outcome you should expect will be a subtle shift in his estimation of you while he delivers on the irreducible result of why he is there. It can only be...
NOT IMPOSSIBLE
IN THE WAKE OF THE FIRST NEVER LAND / SEVER LAND SESSIONS
"From the ground up, that's a good description of civilization.
From the ground in, that's culture.
Civilization and culture head in different directions."
Stephen Jenkinson
We have now completed the firs two sessions of Never Land / Sever Land with Stephen Jenkinson & Kimberly Ann Johnson. On our end we gathered with Stephen in the Great Hall while...
