Tulip in the kitchen window, December 2024 |
Who says tulips can't bloom in December?
My son says otherwise
and brings them in with the groceries
This one is almost spent
another day of translucent beauty
one more afternoon in the window
If my heart can learn to open
with her gentleness and ease
the glorious impossible becomes possible again
* The Glorious Impossible is a children's book by Madeleine L'Engle
"The birth of Jesus was a Glorious Impossible. Like love, it cannot be explained, it can only be rejoiced in."
