The gift

I actually had to write this before I could get to the end of it.  It's amazing to me what putting words on a page will do.

The gift of Thanksgiving this year
Will be making sure
The vegan
Possibly fasting
Ethiopian woman
Will know herself
Utterly and completely included.
But
No.
The gift of Thanksgiving this year
Will be the presence
Of every single person
Around the table
No matter what
Each one of us
Can eat.
