Day four

I count this fourth day of clear brain as miraculous.  The frigid weather has settled in.  It is day twelve of Advent, and the day honoring the Virgin of Guadalupe.  She brought clear brain with her... a gift for now.  My friends with any kind of brain complications or mental illness know how stunning this is.  It*s not so much You don*t know what you*ve got *til it*s gone, but rather what a glorious thing it is when it returns for a visit!  

Day four

Our Lady

Has brought even more clarity

To the fore.

I wonder if the time

She carried Jesus

All those miles

Perched on a donkey

Clarified things

With every hoof fall;

Until finally someone said

Yes.

Yes.

Stay here.

Park that donkey

Here.

There’s some hay

Out back.

Climb down

With your womb full

Of clarity.

It is time to deliver

The child.

And she did.
