Meditative Reflection

This is Just to Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

– William Carlos Williams

Tell me what you eat, I'll tell you who you are.

– Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

Decks of Playing Cards are needed: Rev. Yarborough is collecting them for use in Summer Sunday Camp. They will be used for building houses, so incomplete sets are fine.
