In the Bible, Book of Joshua,  there is a story how God stopped the sun in the sky and held the moon in place for an entire day. God can bring time to a standstill, go backwards or forward, as we rock back and forth, roll like a wheel, seeking the secrets of time in the “fountain that was not made by the hands of men.”

THANKSGIVING

By Mikaela. K. Barrett

WE WAKE UP WITH OUR LOVED ONES NEAR

ONE-OF-A-MILLION REASONS TO BE

THANKFUL….

MY DEAR.

WE GET TO FEEL THE SUN IN NOVEMBER…

WHEN WE LAST GOT SNOWED IN, NO ONE

CAN REMEMBER

OUR BEDS ARE WARM AND OUR HEARTS

ARE LEARNING.

EVERY DAY IS A BLESSING

AS OUR MOTHER EARTH KEEPS

 ON TURNING.

IF SOMETIMES WE GET A BIT

TOO AHEAD,

AND FORGET THAT WE HAVE

MUCH MORE THAN I’VE SAID…

PLEASE WHISPER THE WORDS THAT

WILL BRING US RIGHT BACK,

TO OUR BOUNTIFUL LIVES

IN WHICH WE SELDOMLY LACK.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
