In conversation, I prefer Christopher. My mom named me after Christopher Robin, after all. In writing, I use “C L Couch” (or, more simply, “c l couch”) because the form is genderless and also frankly easier to use. I have awful writer’s cramp. I am an educator more or less retired, more or less due to disability. At present, I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). My writing here I mean to be occasional and also devotional. Either or both. The banner and profile photographs are by my friend and peer Debra Danielson. More of Debbie’s work to be enjoyed is at debradanielson.org. Thanks to each of you and both and all for coming to my blog.

Sister, thank you. It’s a place I think of often.

I studied the Alhambra in college. Saw many photos. Learned that Washington Irving wrote stories about it. It was built by the Moors and is a tribute to Arabian interest in nature, light, space, even math. It was just about the last place reconquered by Spanish Christians. It is cared for today and stands as a tribute and a crossroad. Recently, I was asked about one place on Earth I’d like to visit. I picked this. Thanks for asking, sister! Where would you like to go?
