...that while hearts are ripped open
and foundations crumble
and families grieve
and hope slips away...
...that I slip away, too
without camera
or phone
or computer.
Without dirty clothes to wash, dinner to cook, cats to feed, or floors to sweep.
For seventy-two hours...
To serve and be served
To listen and love
To pour out and fill up
...and I don't take this slipping-away gift lightly.
For when much is given, much will be required.
