“God is love, but get it in writing.”
– Gypsy Rose Lee
Between the two long rows of large chairs, you might see God
in the therapy dog named Daisy—but, no, that is
too obvious. You might see God in little acts of love,
a refilled water, an extra blanket, another popsicle, but
not even the orange popsicle is God. You might get
tired of looking for God in nurse’s faces and decide it
would be better to sleep through the steady drip in
your vein, the neighbor’s TV, the scratch of your spouse’s writing.

“ Surely the Lord is in this place and I didn’t know it.” Genesis 28:16. Thank you Katie for bringing that awareness into today’s struggles.
Katie,
What exquisite timing: word to word, line to line, cadence to cadence, the opening, the closing’s arrival. Numinous poems. Thank you.
