Offsite Post: ‘Faithfulness to Family’

 

Around the still waters of the lake,

We hail our kinsmen and shyly stutter

Out a greeting to shorten the distance

That has grown up between us after a year

Has passed.  But as the gap closes

And we rejoice in the communion

Of those standing visibly with us,

We become aware of a deeper mystery,

The lingering presence of those

Who have gone before us – like the fresh smell

Of rain after an evening shower –

 . . .

The rest is at https://www.reckonin.com/walt-garlington/faithfulness-to-family .

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
