Catie, dear friend, what a wonderful and thoughtful package! I saw the book was one you posted about some years ago, that changed or inspired you, so I‘m really looking forward to it. I have a growing collection of Michigan shirts so this is perfect 😁 #Nunlit folks, please note the prayerful pretzels. I will snack on them while reading my nun books. The tea looks delicious. Everything is lovely - thank you so much Catie! I hope you are well!

JamieArc To add, the prayerful pretzels are “prayerfully prepared by the Sisters of St. Benedict.” 1y
jlhammar Prayerful Pretzels! How perfect. 1y
catiewithac I‘m so glad you liked everything!! 🥳🤩 1y
Amiable @catiewithac Where did you get that t-shirt? I need to get one for my husband (an Illinois native) and his brother (Illinois+ now living in Minnesota)! Not to mention that my oldest son was born in Michigan while we were living there when I was in grad school ... (edited) 1y
catiewithac @Amiable I found it at Whereabouts Shop! 1y

Day 1

Books that have made a deep impression and/or changed me

Basho‘s moon-viewing journey to the Kashima Shine only to be disappointed by cloudy weather.

“It was really regrettable that I had come such a long way only to look at the dark shadow of the moon, but I consoled myself by remembering the famous lady who had returned without composing a single poem from the long walk she had taken to hear a cuckoo.”

Smarkies I read a book - the Pine Islands that made reference to Basho. Stacking this for an adjacent read. 😁 5y

I so wanted to love this combination travelogue/poetry collection but got bogged down by the 45-page intro. A few great passages also super dense. Really highlighted my ignorance of Japanese history...
