routine as refuge

routine as refuge

Dayna Mazzuca

we need small things, like boundaries—
a rhythm of people coming and going, versus
the unannounced rush; bark on a canoe
over uncharted water, guideposts
on the journey—
but might struggle to put things in place,
find our way,
without Sabbath days to remind us
we are holy
