The day began with coffee
Sought beauty
Ended in decision
the point at which two
infinite lines meet
and cross
was foreshadowed
we begin
countdowns
of sorts
love saturates
the planning
and the planners
alike

The day began with coffee

Sought beauty

Ended in decision

the point at which two

infinite lines meet

and cross

was foreshadowed

we begin

countdowns

of sorts

love saturates

the planning

and the planners

alike

 

Hope is born
and we wait
for this peaceful Savior
to mature
in us
our hearts
our actions
to be loosed
to live
in us
bearer of infinite
new chances
for life
through
our

Hope is born

and we wait

for this peaceful Savior

to mature

in us

our hearts

our actions

to be loosed

to live

in us

bearer of infinite

new chances

for life

lives

Oddly
Christmas arrives
only when love
set free of all the glitter
shines though
the world
the worst
prevails
only the outlasting love
heralds
the twelve-ness
of hope
and so we shine

I had an opportunity

today

to help someone

seeking another place

and we stood for a while as I explained the path

from where we were

to where she needed to be

I thought she hesitated

passed by

took courage and

called me back in the beginning

so

I stretched my face to smile

to be simple and present

the seconds ticked by gently

as it became clear that

we’d stumbled upon some blessing in the hurly burly

the here-ing and there-ing

and though we may never meet again

we travelers may long remember

the pathway to heaven

made of eyes and smiles

 

Like carrying water
and chopping wood
but so much more mundane
folding socks
and culling stockpiles
sweeping
the old fashioned way
stooping to fill the dust pan
simple and quiet actions
that recall singularly so many
lessons of doing
of having done
the small needful
offices
that amount to life
