About Me
- Wormwood's Doxy
- I am a passionate, progressive, Episcopalian feminist who loves poetry, strong tea with lots of cream and sugar, and lilies. I am committed to "living out loud." I sometimes dance with the Devil--he is always complaining that I try to lead.
Remember the woman your mother warned you about?
I do not suffer fools gladly...
Things that make you go "Hmmmmmm"....
Words to live by....
Do YOU Know?
All we need is love...
Doxy supports same-sex marriage. You should too.

WOW! what more can you say?
"Wow!" indeed, Diane. Perfect, Doxy, just perfect.
It's a lovely epitaph, but I'm thankful that I won't get to see it.
Really, really beautiful. Congratulations to you both.
Ah, but Mimi...who knows? None of us can know the span of our days. I trust that whichever one of us goes first will be waiting to greet and welcome the other into the company of the saints.
It is such a hard and dangerous thing to embrace joy...knowing that you cannot hold on to it forever. It is the greatest leap of faith I have ever made...
It is lovely, but I think that if we do run to joy and embrace it, it will never really leave us since all our joy springs from the One we will have met when our epitaph is read.
Very good point, Mother Amelia. I will try to hold it.
(And I don't ever think I welcomed you to the blog--I'm so glad you have started stopping by! Thinking of you and Izzie...)
I trust that whichever one of us goes first will be waiting to greet and welcome the other into the company of the saints.
Indeed! You and me and all the rest of those we love.

I adore this photo. A favorite bumper sticker here in the hills reads "Don't Postpone Joy." amen.
Amen! It was actually that bumper sticker that inspired the post. I had to struggle to find the more positive way of saying it...but it was worth the effort. :-)
;-)
What a lovely photo!
Beautiful! Wonderful! Blessings abounding.
Speechless. And grateful to have witnessed this.
Loving you both!
I feel great joy just seeing this photo.
In case I haven't said this yet, many blessings on your marriage.
If my marriage were not so wonder-full and joy-filled, I would be jealous. As it is, I am just very, very happy for you and DF.
I love the smoke coming out of your head! Or, is that from the kiss?

Dead romantic!
Yay, Doxy!!!! Tons of hugs.
Grace!!!!!! Where have you been? You have been missed! (((Grace)))
Margaret--I'll let you decide. ;-)
Goran---I love you guys!
DP--and your point would be...? ;-)
That picture is very romantic...and very sexy. :-)
IT--you know from joy. I think of you and BP so often...
You're kind, Doxy. You made BP get all tear-y !
Yes!
Love - real love, like this - puts everything into perspective.
God bless the both of you.
Fabulous photo. Priest kisses wife. DF kisses Doxy.
Send it to the Vatican. Place it on the mantel. Engrave it on your hearts.
