At Home Sunday Night

I like seeing into the lit windows in our home when I lug the garbage can to the curb for Monday pickup. Figgy's attic room, brightly lit for her fish and plants. The kitchen, with Dan setting out plates of salmon and asparagus. The hallway, where I can see photos of our families on the wall. I like that we spruced up our lawn and Dan trimmed the shrubs and we both raked up and hauled off all the clippings today. I like that we have clean bed sheets fresh from the dryer and that my white denim skirt is washed and air-drying for tomorrow. And I continue to hope and pray, to pray and hope. "Draw Near" was the name of the Communion hymn at Saturday evening Mass and just those two words say so very much. I will draw near. Good night.
