Today’s word is “prepare.” It’s not yet time for anything — nor can we push forward, nor go back – but sit with this emptiness, ready. To pile on boxes, festoon with lights, to celebrate. To share a crust and cup, to honor friends come and gone. To pack, close up, and sweep off to new places.
Prepare. Be ready. Something is coming.
pruned back and covered
bounteous earth lies sleeping
a table, prepared
What a simple and elegant table!
