Storytime (WC)




(Wendy Cabell, January 6, 2021, feast day of Epiphany (Theophany in Eastern Orthodox), and Christmas eve in Old Calender Eastern Orthodox. The Armenian Orthodox Church is unique in celebrating both Christmas, and Theophany (with its accompanying blessing of the waters ceremony), today. Image from Wikipedia)



Storytime



The answer is in the story

And the story isn't finished.

- Padraig O'Tuama, 

  Readings from the Book of Exile



Once upon a time

(when I don't know) 

a path was set

with Lamp aglow

a hand outstretched

its land to know--

        today




*From prompt:  inspired by Abbey of the Arts' Epiphany retreat January 6, 2021, where story was suggested as a way to rest the overactive brain and deepen into the soul (a theme also sensed in Kayleen Asbo (of Mythica)'s recent classes).
