Seattle 139, or Sukkot

And when we have fasted, prayed, felt the twisting of our bodies and hearts, cried out to the heavens (to ourselves?) for forgiveness, and when there is nothing left inside...

we build. We reach. We put up walls made of cloth, and a roof of branches and say, "Come in. We've spent the last week figuring out that life is only as solid as the winds and the rain will allow, but today there's sunshine. So, come. Sit. Feast."

A belated thanks for the kind words about "Invasion." (Obviously I could stand to be a more active blogger/comment reader.)
