November 27 - November 27

It's two days after Thanksgiving, and the turkey is still in the oven.
The arrival time has come and gone, but the plane is still circling the runway.
The concert was supposed to start hours ago, but the lead singer is nowhere in sight.
The storm clouds should have vanished days ago, but they're still around.
And the cherry blossoms are way behind schedule, and you don't think they're ever going to bloom.
But then suddenly, things are in motion, things are happening.
And it feels all the quicker since up until moments ago it didn't seem like anything was going to happen at all.
But then suddenly everything is happening, everything is changing, everything is moving forward.
And the turkey comes out of the oven and it's perfect.
And the flight lands safely.
And the lead singer shows up and it's the best concert ever.
And the clouds disappear and the sun comes out and the cherry blossoms bloom and they're beautiful.
And all is well.

  1. What a great metaphor!! Maya is a perfect turkey and a safe landing, a beautiful singer, and a gorgeous cherry blossom. All is indeed well.
