For You

To All My Friends

That I could be this human at this time
breathing, looking, seeing, smelling

That I could be this moment at this time
resting, calmly moving, feeling

That I could be this excellence at this time
sudden, changed, peaceful, & woke

To all my friends who have been with me in weakness
when water falls rush down my two sides

To all my friends who have felt me in anguish
when this earthen back breaks between the crack of two blades

To all my friends who have held me in rage
when fire tears through swallows behind tight grins

I know you
I see you
I hear you

Although the world is silent around you

I know you
I see you
I hear you


Author, May Yang

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

&
Raine

Greetings, comrades! (Waves southwesterly)

Already hard at work in the TriSec compound. We've got an ambitious-sounding menu today, but in the end it's a fairly easy lift.

Cocktail Hour:
Shrimp Coctail / Charcuterie

Main event:
Individual Beef Wellingtons
Potatoes Anna
Asparagus Maitre d'Hotel

Desserts:
Pecan Pie (Store-bought)
Apple Pie (Homemade)
Pie TBD (MiL insists on bringing something)

Aperitifs / Brandy


And in the vein of today's blog:

On a day of thanks / Remember those who are gone / Embrace the living.

Happy Thanksgiving, bloggers!!! (Waves northeasterly)

I am volunteering at my local synagogue and joining friends for dinner.

I am thankful for everyone here, your friendship, and your support.
