Thanksgiving 2016 11/24/2016

Thanksgiving is a human joy
we gather as kith and kin
sharing repast and remembrances
as I sit lake side
bundled against cold autumn day
my heart thanks giving
for eagles, cormorants, gulls, crows and chickadees
I find like the striking eagle
I am hungry
but not for fish or food
I am hungry
wanting for all
peace, kindness, justice, equality, safety and fellowship
may the Creator grant us those sacred spaces
as we gather as kith and kin
sharing repast and remembrances
