Sarx

Or an old one…

The header image is a shot from where I used to work woven with two icons and a piece of jewellery. The first icon was written by my friend, Susan. It is of John Chrysostom and sits, now, in my office. across the face of the icon is the Prayer of John Chrysostom, familiar to users of the BCP. (Almighty God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord… etc) Over at the far right are two eyes and a nose from another icon, and I admit I’ve forgotten from whence those came. (Perhaps the Theotokos, “Sweet Kissing”? I don’t know…)

In the centre is a piece of Ethiopian jewellery that I have ’round my neck even now. When I lived in SF, it was one of my favourite things to wear. I lost it a year ago at Brodie’s apartment and, just last week, looked down and there it was! Literally. Neither Brodie nor I had seen it there before…

This was the original design for my blog, tzev. I think I may have used it here, prior to the old, narrow design. I wanted to return to an even older form, but I’m having the darnedest time getting it to work in WordPress.
