Thanks Jim for sharing and Happy Holidays to ALL🌎🌍🌏🌠 I share a poem written by Mary Brown who is married to Jim Brown. They live down the hall from me where I live in a 55+ community living in Austin Metroplex. They participated in RS1 Many years ago and one of our colleagues officiated at their wedding. It’s great to have them living in the same community and participating in a reconciling congregation, In Georgetown, Texas.

Da Capo By Jane Hirshfield Take the used-up heart like a pebble and throw it far out.
Soon there is nothing left. Soon the last ripple exhausts itself in the weeds.
Returning home, slice carrots, onions, celery. Glaze them in oil before adding the lentils, water, and herbs.
Then the roasted chestnuts, a little pepper, the salt. Finish with goat cheese and parsley. Eat.
You may do this, I tell you, it is permitted. Begin again the story of your life. Da Capo By Jane Hirshfield Take the used-up heart like a pebble and throw it far out.
