A Trinity of Loves
from Shamash Says:
“And so I fly out of Albuquerque to Los Angeles to Singapore to my home
Here
Where orchids grow wild like the cacti on the New Mexico mesa
Where rice grows like the wild peppermint along the Pennsylvania fencerow down the road from grandma’s house
Where the buddhas of Asia are bigger than inflated snowmen, but no more sacred.”
I recommend reading this entire portrait of the three worlds Shamash carries in her heart. It speaks to the part of me that loves my Southern Baptist family not all that unlike Shamash’s Pennsylvania Mennonite, the part of me that values and would honor that family and yet yearns toward a wider horizon – and I love the graphic that goes with this post.
