Magdalena conferred dignity on us
Lena and Jacob @ their 50th Wedding Anniversary
Grandma sewed 44 sets of PJ’s each Christmas,
Baked crullers, sauerbraten,
Sat enthroned in hassock-ed chairs,
Reigning o’er progeny’s den.
Baked crullers, sauerbraten,
Offered quarters for allowance,
Cooking lessons, Ed Sullivan’s TV dance.
Sat enthroned in hassock-ed chairs
Upholstered comfort, doilied arms,
Sweet kitchen smells, soft balms.
Reigning o’er progeny’s den:
Nodding, dignity conferred
On all her brood, her herd.

Who says tiaras are only for the young?
Who says tiaras are only for the young?
I’m modeling my Grandma with crullers in kitchen
a well-worn chair,carpeted stairs,and visits to church.
With 30 grandchildren stuffed around the tree and
an 8mm Movie of carols and “Oh Holy Night”!
The elves deliver the gifts: pajamas to serve for 2 years:
made by hand by Grandma, one set for summer and one for winter.
Every gift is enough; every person enough;
we watch as each adds to the fun; we share “til each has enough!
Enough is our fare; It’s smiles everywhere
and early to bed for us all.
Awake the next morn, to wonder at light, suffused
with enough to guide through the day…
Enough for us all!

A Response to Mohsin Hamid’s story, “Of Windows and Doors” from the New Yorker, Nov14, 2016
Whether you live in the USA
Or a war-torn country,
You will have to build community:
Care for the children
Transport the frail
Feed the hungry
Allow sleep
Find your voice
Dance duets and solos
Set boundaries
Listen
Tolerate differences
Wait your turn
For peace is a many faceted phenomena-
tiny and humongous.
You are the force for peace;
it’s creator!

Sometimes God’s Creations need to thaw…
Every setting is a grace:
the changing light
the cold
the warmth that falls on the frozen ground.
Do I fear judgement?
harbor uneasiness?
The Son of Man
brings healing
restoration
grace
new beginnings.
I was lost.
And found.
Why would I exclude others?
All God does is
create
transform
reconcile
sanctify.
I can be free of all disguise,
whole in the panorama of creation.
Clothed in “justice for all”
armed with a cosmic view.
No crying, pain, only an awakening.
NOW.
reconciliation
restoration
healing
wrongs made right
letting go of ill will
robed with the compassion of Christ.
I can be the lion
who lies with the lamb;
the lamb who bleats
for the lion.
I am the vibrant channeled creator!
