Iona eyes

In the midst of home chaos, I find myself acclimating to the home renovation.  Returning from Iona to Illinois was a bit of a shock.  Still, I knew what I was returning home to.  And a little about what I was returning home with.  I am still thinking about the women from Fort Worth, struggling with re-ordering their diocese.  I am clearly not done yet, with prayer, with figuring where I fit in the re-ordering of the whole.  I did think I was done. I now know I am not.

Two weeks returned

From Iona,

I think I am getting

My bearings back

Finally.

Of course nothing

Is ever final.

The trick is to keep

Iona eyes

In Illinois,

Just as Illinois

Arrived with me

On Iona.

Just as I found Fort Worth

Staying in the same hotel.

Cooler weather

Is upon us now.

The trees have noticed

In full color.

I watch them change

With Iona eyes.
