(Day 24 of this year’s Advent series. Yesterday’s piece was about vigils; today we consider arrival.)
Single Leaf
I really love the sound –
A single leaf against the ground.
It means I’m finally
Listening.
My friends –
Here we are.
If you have never heard the sound made by a solitary leaf, then I hope your day will hold that.
As I hope your day will hold countless seconds of awe and uncertainty and clarity, side-by-side, each to their moments of attention, each enriched by and enriching all the rest.
May you step out in peace.
