BAKING SODA BISCUITS

Poem for Today - Thursday - November 20, 2014

JUST THINKING

I was just thinking

one morning

during meditation

how much alike

hope

and baking powder are: quietly

getting what is

best in me

to rise,

awakening

the hint of eternity

within.

I always think of that

when I eat biscuits now

and wish

that I could be

more faithful

to the hint of eternity,

the baking power

in me.
