writing - sometimes invisible
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!
