I woke up this morning thinking about writing that owl reflection. It is such a cool picture: three barn owls peering out of a rounded cross shaped window. So I began. The owls have yet to make their appearance. Instead I remembered that breakfast with Possibility and Disappointment, and the later meeting I had with my therapist/supervisor/consultant. Perhaps you could all hold hands, he said. Maybe you could close the circle.
I am not on the roster
To preach
Yet every time
Trinity Sunday rolls around
I think what I might say
To clear things up
This time.
A few weeks ago now
I had breakfast with
Disappointment
And Possibility,
Just the three of us.
We all walked under the crabapple.
Possibility and I
Held Disappointment*s hands.
What if all three of you
Held hands,
Closed the circle
In the backyard
And danced?
He asked.
What if?
This morning I think
Why that would be
Perichoresis.
If we danced fast enough
No one
Could tell us apart.
