Listening Ears

Thanksgiving.

A time to peel potatoes, yank the neck out of the poor turkey and feel it's a victory.
To chill three cans of cranberry sauce and wonder how many sandwiches it will serve as a spread until I say, 'no more!'

This year has been an awakening.

Change is the thing to embrace
shaking, quaking,
listening to Sarah's rap

and thankful.

For each and every one of us in our own expression - as Lyle Lovett describes the World - the good and the bad motions of the human experience when all we're doing is trying to remember

the Ocean we swam in,
the inner tube of life.

Searching.

Happy Thanksgiving.
