“Happy Thanksgiving”
(Belated Thanksgiving greetings to my friends in Canada)
Many Utensils
In this kitchen,
there are many utensils…
Today, I’m handling
the spatula of gratitude.
Stirring again and again
awaiting its gentle boil.
I add touches of spices.
Each added ‘pinch’ descends
into the enormous pot and
an aroma ascends.
This day I prepare
what IS with ‘thanks.’
This soufflé of words
breaks open—
for all who read
it is your ‘giving’ heart
that reaches mine
reminding me of the eternal banquet
from which I daily taste.
Abundant Blessings.
Always Gratitude.
Sandy, this is lovely! I love the imagery of the spatula of gratitude.
Deep thanks dear friend…
