Epiphany

Today is the Holy Day of manifestation, the day many Christian churches celebrate the recognition of The Christ as, well, divine.


And while millions are inside, watching men dressed in white do whatever it is men inside dressed in white do, a living jelly washes upon a winter beach, it's transparent body magnifying grains of sands beneath it, as it lies dying under the light of our sun.

And because I do not know better, I pick up this tiny blob of life, and gently lay it back in the bay, and maybe utter a tiny prayer, maybe not, since I no longer even know what a prayer sounds like, but I know this much:
The world is large and deep and full of mystery, and if I cannot see this at my feet, I cannot see it anywhere.





Three Wise Men? I'm going with the jellies....
