Do You? (WC)

(Wendy Cabell, April 22, 2022, feast day of Orthodox Great and Holy Friday, of Our Lady of Betharam (connection with Lourdes), of the Miraculous Lady (weeping Icon of Cicero, Illinois), and of Saint Opportuna of Montreuil and Saint Senorina of Basto. Earth Day.

Do You?

…just lived through a miracle, 

we're going to dance tonight...

–Miriam’s Song, Debbie Friedman

I used to sense tiny wings,

nestled just behind the heart--

mine? Yours? not sure, but

surely magic’s real, 

now the eyes

are open
