Ceremony marries the mundane to the sacred.
The water turns to wine, the coffee to a prayer.
The material and the spiritual mingle like grounds
mixed with humus, transformed like steam rising
from a mug into the morning mist.
What else can you offer the earth,
which has everything?
What else can you give
but something of yourself?
A homemade ceremony,
ceremony that makes a home.
