Pondering: Decay. Hope. Thanksgiving.
by Kayce Stevens Hughlett
"Here is the handful
of shadow I have brought back to you:
This decay, this hope, this mouthful
of dirt, this poetry."
Margaret Atwood
A handful of shadow. A mouthful of dirt. Ironic. Iconic ... as I sit here in the dim light of my living room. Children above and below, husband beside. A vegan feast in the oven. Altar on the table. Son and granddaughter resting on our bed. Quiet time with binkies and iPad. Music strumming. Candles lit. A day of Thanksgiving. Letting go of the mania. Giving thanks for past decay. Living into new hope.
