Friday, 11 August 2006 - Hope in a squash plant


Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for hope in a squash plant.

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.
~Anne Lamott



so much depends

upon

one squash plant
bathed in morning
sunlight,

growing beside the cement
culvert.

(with apologies to William Carlos Williams)

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
