Curtain Call
(after Molly McCully Brown)
Lace guardians,
so patient you are.
Roseflow braiding
hospitality, simplicity, peace.
Work, study, holy leisure. Weave
of rose into lace into room which
awaits. All this time silent. All the better
to cradle, I suppose, this longing for
holiness
of
home.
(after Molly McCully Brown)
The rule [of Saint Benedict] takes me back to something early, primal, and universal. --Esther de Waal's address to the Illinois Benedictine College Community, 26 April, 1995
Lace guardians,
so patient you are.
Roseflow braiding
hospitality, simplicity, peace.
Work, study, holy leisure. Weave
of rose into lace into room which
awaits. All this time silent. All the better
to cradle, I suppose, this longing for
holiness
of
home.
*From prompt: Freewrite as inspired by Molly McCully Brown's Transubstantiation, notice something in your environment you don't usually give much thought to, allowing yourself to be curious about it, to bless it's being here and to let emerge what you love about it.
