Sacred Places I Have Nursed My Son

In a Chinese Restaurant
Standing in line at the post office
the bank
Grocery store
Home Depot
and pharmacy
In my mother’s garden at sunset 
Flying over Chicago Take Off Landing and In-between. 
In the snow 
At a wedding 
In a church and a synagogue 
On my (95-year-old) Grandmother’s sofa 
On the shores of Long Island, the Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific Ocean 
On the toilet 
During seven-hour train rides and Satsang 
At an anti-war rally 
The airport in Dallas, Boston, Albuquerque, and Burlington 
A dock on Lake Wentworth 
The thrift store floor 
At Thanksgiving Dinner 
On the bank of the river
In the Green Mountains
