Saturday after Pascha

 

I ate the last two Pascha cookies
this morning with a cup of milk.
I made at least 108 cookies
this Pascha.
Other than a few I saved for
Orthoman and myself
all of them were consumed
at our church feast
on Pascha day.

I have a list of things to be done
three grocery lists long
and today is a day for
laundry
cake baking for a birthday
cleaning and hopefully photocopying stuff
for taxes...and other things,
like switching out my winter clothes
for spring and summer.
*
Vespers tonight.
Thank God for the continued rhythms
and prayers that the church cradles us in,
giving structure, hope, direction
and a deepening way forward.
