Searching for Smiles

So much of being back is struggling with joy.
Suddenly all that you were filled with
is three thousand miles away.
It feels like yesterday
and forever ago
all in a single instant.


You have to relearn how to smile over little things.
You have to remember that laughing with everyone else
is a good thing.
Different, but good.

Things like purple iridescent robes
that smell of vinegar.
Of surprise kilter askings.


Even things that are fads
can be funny and smiled at without guilt.


God is good.
His common grace spreads over all parts of life...
even the ones that are easy
safe
predictable.
