First Sunday of
Advent of longing and trying not to
Give in
To boredom and discouragement
Calendar weeks of waiting
Impatient
We make kora
Adding force to spinning prayer wheels
Stop
Before crossing
The line of crinkled eyes
All singing toward the hill
Where His Holiness is
Living in exile
I have no idea what this means
Voices hearty and hopeful
Chanting hands throw flour into the air and
Everyone in this city
Wants to go home

Dearest Aine,
So sorry I didn't get a care package in the mail! Thinking of you every day and hoping that you are well! Had a wonderful visit with Lizzy in Ireland over the Thanksgiving break. Hope you guys get to hook up in London. I'll make sure to try and get in touch with mom before then. Anyway, just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers! Lousy that I didn't get anything in the mail to you but I promise to give you lots of hugs when I see you next.
All my love, Mary Dargie

What an incredible poem. Moving!
I saw your pun arm and it made me smile.
Home misses you, too, beautiful.
It snowed this morning.
I am sending my love your way.
