Thanksgiving elves and other nifty thingies

Every once in a while our Society’s accountant brings in these two rather small people who look alike. They were born in Guatemala about three years ago, but waaaay back when they were just babies B and his wife K adopted them, so they came to live in this New York place. Whenever their dad brings them into the office they provide Dunkin Donuts doughnut hole thingies. And they deliver them from desk to desk, along with other stuff that comes in during the day like mail and weird junk like that. They are here today. They brought me a whoooole box of doughnut hole thingies and I got to take TWO of them! Oh yeah!

I have my first chapter! Yippee, I can chapterize! Ohhh I’m going to have fun over this long weekend! (I will get out too, I promise, no really.) I have chapterized all the story entries so far (good job I put that word “story” in the title of each entry, which made it even easier than it already is).

Righto; here’s a whitter that came bubbling up on the bus ride to work. Happy Wednesday (not Hump Day for me; more like an early Friday!).

Message

The rhythms pound into me
claiming my heartbeat for their own
we are now entreated to find our blood’s pulsing
bang its pattern loudly
as once before cement was done
for communion and communication
rhythms sent and responded to
in time
in tempo

A goddess arises in our midst
infusing each soul with her sacred power
lifting us into union
to sing the harmonies of her ancient praises
commanding remembrance of the earth
from which all life came to be
into which it returns when done
souls and bodies rest in the certainty
of her nourishing beneficence
