just because

every now and then
not because we earned it
or even because we asked for it
but just because
God knows what we need
when we wake up on Monday mornings,
we are given people
who make our minds wider
who make our hearts broader
who make our joys richer
who make our questions braver
and for those people
we give thanks on Monday mornings
when the real threat
is not to delve into the
wide-minded
broad-hearted
rich-joyed
brave-questioned
but is to choose not to delve into these things.
good friends
near or far
make us people of another kingdom
and every now and then
not because we earned it
or even because we asked for it
but just because God knows what we need
we wake up on Monday mornings
giving thanks for these people.
Amen

at a high top table under low light

corny jokes to the server
hospitable laughs in return
at a high top table under low light
clinking glasses and eating crumbs
conversation about
faith
fury
family
funnies
fortitude
fears
watches watched, but only barely
because it’s only a monday evening
realization that what we
beg for
clamor for
whine for
fight for
pay for
sing for
hope for
long for
is waiting for us on Monday evenings
at a high top table under low light
clinking glasses and eating crumbs.

And is waiting on Tuesday mornings.

monday mornings are the clearest view

Monday mornings are the clearest view

of the sharp contrast in which

we live and breathe:

the ideals of the weekend

Saturday and its rest

Sunday and its ethereal musings.

And then Monday morning;

push comes to shove

injustice comes to work

greed comes to pocketbooks

arrogance comes to interactions

distraction comes to dinner tables.

And instead of pushing to bring

the truth of the weekend into play on Monday morning,

we are tempted to

wait for the weekend

and curse the week.

But the week waits desperately.
