Sunday
it was another good day
we had a zoom church service
with a sermon that took us
to the end of time
when
after the end of everything
the pastor assured us that
resurrection
was possible
in nature
one blade of grass
sprouting out of a
dead tree stump
proclaimed
a new beginning
the miracle of life
i think he meant it as a metaphor
or a reality check
utter destruction could happen
he wanted us to know that
a new and perhaps
a better world
will emerge
from a tree stump
and a blade of grass
metaphorically speaking
after the zoom church service
mark and I drove to davis
as instructed
between 12:30 and 1:30 pm
to hand all the choir christmas music
out of the car window
to betty and ann
and to receive new music
in return
betty said we were only the second
car to arrive
and it was almost 1:30 pm
at least it was a sunshiny day
and they had each other
without masks
keeping their distance
we thanked them
for their service
and drove away
to west sacramento
where we used to go after church
when it was live
and had lunch
outdoors
at a picnic table
on wooden benches
in the warm California
sunshine
