ADVENTageous for Glenn

Aren’t there annunciations

of one sort or another

in most lives?

Some unwillingly

undertake great destinies,

enact them in sullen pride,

uncomprehending.

More often

those moments

when roads of light and storm

open from darkness in a man or woman,

are turned away from

in dread, in a wave of weakness, in despair

and with relief.

Ordinary lives continue.

God does not smite them.

But the gates close, the pathway vanishes.

from "Annunciation" by Denise Levertov]

 

The season would start for Glenn with The Grey Cup Game, which we all enjoyed yesterday (especially I, the only Westerner in the crowd of 26 family), and then would come the edict on the first Sunday before Advent - "time for the music"... No one understood and lived out the truth of his faith more than Glenn - it was real and it was tough, requiring true grit... Here's to true grit under fire!
