Today is for sifting

Today is a day I reclaimed for myself.  I could have attended Clergy Conference.  It would have been the first time in three or four years.  I have always enjoyed reconnecting with colleagues.  Clergy Conference was always at a very familiar place.  Now it's not.  Nothing wrong with that, just too much new for now.  Maybe next year.  Today is for sifting.

I am not adding

Any more information

To this day.

I am not meeting

Anyone new

Or old,

Unless I count

As old yet new.

Today requires nothing new.

Today is for sifting.

Today is for reclaiming

An order to things.

Today is for finding out

Whether this particular puzzle piece

Is part of the sky,

Part of the landscape,

Or perhaps a piece

Of the edge.
