What I love about the masks
Is they are a visible indication
Of an internal decision to protect,
to guard,
to say your safety is more important
than my lipstick
or even my smile.
What I love about six feet apart
is that I see you
and I honor the space you may need
to remain whole,
to celebrate the next milestone,
to feel my reverence
at your very being.
What I love about staying home
is that your unvarnished face
has become more beautiful.
Your presence,the never deserved,
but always welcomed
declaration of a Good creation.
May all of this distance
be a drawing near.
That I may guard your soul
as I guard the droplets flying from my mouth.
May this distance
create a sacred seat in my soul,
always awaiting your arrival.
Another child of Grace
seeking wholeness,
finding a little more peace,
knowing your blinding glory.
