Prescience

It*s all tied together.  Now you see it.  Now you don*t.  Still... it will always come 'round again.

It*s all tied into

Thanksgiving

Secular

Sacred

Thanksgiving.

How did I not see

The connection of end times

And beginning again,

Always

Beginning again?

Indeed

I*m sure I must have written this

Before.

The Church
Society
Someone
in their prescience

Sandwich Thanksgiving between

Christ the King

And Advent 1.

The final Thursday

Of November,

The harvest gathered in,

The checkout guy

In the grocery store

Telling us the story

Of wild turkeys being so much

More flavorful

I saw it on PBS

He said

The combination of his Hawaiian shirt

And dreadlocks

And wild turkeys melding

With the blue sky day

After church.

It*s all tied into

Thanksgiving

Doncha know?

Thanksgiving

Beginnings

Endings

Hawaiian shirts and dreadlocks

Wild turkeys

And oh

Simply everything.

Time fulfilled

I love the church year.  It offers a different sense of time than that offered by the secular world we live in.   I saw the homeless man who stood outside of Starbucks, asking for a turkey and Swiss and a cup of coffee, black.  Yesterday he was a part of time fulfilled.  I know there is a new beginning around the corner.

Yesterday

Was a taste

Of time fulfilled.

The children took

Their rightful places

Next to their parents

Received their due

Gifts of God.

They were already

Those Gifts

As were their parents

As was everyone

Present there

In that place.

As was the man

Outside of Starbucks

Who asked for a turkey and swiss

A cup of coffee

Black

Yesterday was a taste

Of time fulfilled.

Next week everything

Begins again.

Christ the King

New computer with new key sensitivity.  Whoa.  If this is what the world looks like all gathered together... I think I prefer the old way, even if it was more difficult, and I had lost the apostrophe and had to make do with an asterisk.  Today Jeff and I share our experiences as a blended family at the adult forum at church.  Today is the reminder of the glorious end.  We begin again next week.

Today is the reminder

Of the glorious end.

Today Christ the King reigns

Over all.

The world

Gathered all together:

The Kingdom Come;

The Will be done.

Today: a picture,

The Glorious End

Of the World,

All the pieces gathered

Back together

Only to begin again

Next week

All over again.

Stay tuned

For the Glorious Beginning.
