Slots

I still think such a slot may exist. I'm not sure I'll ever stop looking.

This may come as no surprise

To those who have watched

But

I have never met a slot

Into which I fit.

I used to blame it

On my upbringing.

I used to think

Slicing off a corner here

An edge there

Would make it right.

I do not have enough corners.

My edges are fine

Thank you.

In fact

I prefer a slotless world.

I would help create

A world without slots,

With room,

With endless room,

To grow

Together.

Room

With thanks to Liz Meade and her musings today on the Annunciation.  http://meademusings.blogspot.com/

May every space in our life be declared holy space.

I am grateful

For the blue chair

The blanket

My first client who cancelled

Today.

I pray she will heal.

I am grateful 

For time to drink coffee,

Notice the sunshine.

No one else is here.

I am grateful for an empty space

Like Mary’s

Which has room

For God to fill.

Brick feature wall

We double-crossed our fingers in the car so she might get the single bed and not have to share a bunk. She determined it was not a good thing to pray for, but crossing fingers was o.k.  She got the bed, the smallest closet and the brick feature wall which is part of the prize.  Breakfast together tomorrow, then we take the scenic route home via the Sandhill trail in Nebraska.

The dorm room

Is set up.

My daughter drew

The drawn slip of paper

Netted her the single raised bed,

The desk without shelves,

The smallest closet.

Hers

Has the brick feature wall

For the room.
