Goood morning linguists.

A stygian clawed toddler hawk zoomed into our big maple tree & carried away a smaller bird. Many feathers flew & I was in awe for about a minute. That was one fast sucker!

During this Nativity Fast (Advent) season, we are called upon—with God’s help—to rise above the stygian depths of our sins, and of this fallen world—through fasting, Confession, the Divine Liturgy, and—yes—Thanksgiving!!!!
Blessed Thanksgiving (both the Holy Eucharist and the American November Feast) to all!!!!
