CHRIST
IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith from a Place of Winter for the Years of Winter…

Old people worry
about their memories,
the ability to recall
where they put their glasses
or what was on the grocery list.
As I grow old,
“Puny and Feeble,”
as old folks were labeled
in the membership book
of the Solsberry Methodists,
a good name for a rock band
at the senior center,
I have this nagging feeling
of something left undone…
World peace
Global warming
Justice
Equality
Hunger
Poverty
Damn!
I knew there was something else
I meant to do…

The “place
of winter” mentioned in the title line is Iron Mountain, in Michigan’s Upper
Peninsula, where people are Yoopers [UPers] and life is defined by winter even
in the summer! [This phrase is explained in the post for March 20, 2014.]
