Something Unmentioned

After dusk, beyond the turquoise skyline
as I turn I am reminded

Without people's voices, above their whispers or
undone in their silence, I hear a history of hope

One lantern lit soiree after another
just as he turns to see her empty chair

What memories dance in the corners of twilight
I breathe carefully to keep more of

Holding all these and keeping them
to awaken me, I shiver and understand:

You make all things new

inspired by William Stafford's poem "Reminders"

word.

I secretly want this shirt:

Here's a darling picture from Lindsey's wedding. Look at you lovelies!

a lantern-lit gathering

With this morning's promise of warm summer days, (what the snow?! It's MAY, people!) the beginning of classes for some of you, and because it's been way too long, I'm suggesting a YTS gathering at my place. A Sunday evening perhaps? Mother's Day is out, but other than that, mi casa es su casa. If we're lucky, maybe we'll get to sit on my patio and use the paper lanterns for the first time this year. Pray for sun and get back to me.
