On This Thanksgiving Day

. . . in giving thanks we give ourselves.
~ Br. David Steindl-Rast

On this Thanksgiving Day, I give deep thanks for my son; my sisters, nieces and nephews, and other family members; my parish; and my friends all over the world (you know who you are!). Your unwavering support, wisdom, and love have helped me through profound crisis and given me such reason to be grateful for your presence in my life. ~ Maureen


Two poems for Thanksgiving:

"Called to Thanksgiving (for my brother)"

"Tradition"


And especially for Walt Pascoe, Holly Friesen, David Sandum, Ned L.: my prose piece "Uncommon Community".
