Gratitude
for life, love, and food,
we gather
together
around the table to eat
where ghosts watch, smiling
they hover
as we make toasts to
absent friends,
ancestors,
spirits in our memories
sit with us in peace
This is a Shadorma for Eliot’s November Challenge.
Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
we remain mindful, always a large gathering for every meal
Yes, sometimes we’re more mindful than at other times though.
Peace, and Happy Thanksgiving, Merril.
Thank you, Ken. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
I did, and I kept busy, although not with 15 guests!
Haha–it was actually 15 including us. 😉
Happy Thanksgiving, for whatever you have to give thanks for 🙂
Thank you. 🙂

Beautiful. And how wonderful that America has a celebration everyone can share, regardless of origin, religion, all that stuff. Hope it all went well.
Thank you very much, Sarah. It was fun having the family here. 🙂
And this is very peaceful
Thank you, Derrick.
So wistful and true. Celebration and remembering, a good combination. (K)
Thank you, Kerfe.
Smiling, peaceful spirits sound like welcome guests at Thanksgiving table, but no requests for dinner food nor pie. 😉
Well, none that we can hear. 😉
😉 oh, so possible. . .
