Present Joys

The atonement is finished; the High Priest is gone within the veil; salvation is now complete. He has laid aside the linen garments, and he stands before you with his breastplate, and his mitre, and his embroidered vest, in all his glory. Hear how he rejoices over us, for he hath redeemed his people, and ransomed them out of the hands of his enemies. Come, let us go home with the High Priest; let us clap our hands with joy, for he liveth, he liveth; the atonement is accepted, and we are accepted too; the scapegoat is gone, our sins are gone with it.

This is a photo of my neighbor, taken in 1952 when she was a professional gymnast. It’s got a nice view of downtown Columbus and the Broad Street bridge. The photo was old and gross so I color-corrected it for her. I took some liberties.

I have the giantest of crushes on St. Vincent.
