Reflection

Reflection

..to read without reflecting is like eating without digesting. – Edmund Burke

I sit at the abundant banquet table of life

and shovel in delicious food of

tasty words

until my brain signals “full.”

Later there is a chance to digest,

to reflect on these words

and banter questions back and forth

in my mind and heart.

But sleepiness wins. 

I nap.

Upon waking all is forgotten.
