September 22: Sometimes It Helps

In the face of each congregant

human frailty is on full display—

ravages of aging and infirmity,

stresses of marriage and parenting,

anxiety about the state of the world,

challenges of being entirely human—

and each Sunday we make space

for all of it and much more,

and sometimes, mysteriously,

perhaps miraculously, it helps.

Too much nose blowing in this lovely hotel room where I wish I'd slept.
