Robyn (Dyba) Carlene is a writer who lives at the Jersey Shore and is currently working on her Masters in Theology, Justice, and Public Life at Princeton Theological Seminary. As a retired high school English teacher, she is an advocate for the arts and considers creativity a sacred spiritual practice. She dabbles in painting and occasionally leads writing workshops. She holds a special affection for mystics, activists, poets, prophets, and world shakers who share a vision of spiritual integrity. She aims to live by the words of Micah: “Do Justice, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly”–or as her favorite t-shirt puts it: “Read Books, Drink Coffee, Fight Evil.” Find her sporadic musings at The Serpent and The Dove and IG @1ordinarylife.
