    When I was standing in line in the supermarket with what appeared to be the entire town, a woman turned and said, “You would think no one had any food at home.” Yes, we were all preparing for the big “What if?”…But you managed to think about it from such a beautiful space of spirituality and the prose.

    As for me, when I left the supermarket loaded down with provisions, I thought, “Shoot, I should have bought more of those energy packed foods that the fellow who traveled around the world in a small craft brought with him.” I was less philosophical and more provisions minded.

    And then of course, I couldn’t help thinking about the lyrics to the old Weavers’ song, Goodnight Irene.

    Sometimes I live in the country
    Sometimes I live in town
    Sometimes I take a great notion
    To jump into the river and drown…

    But usually I have a great notion to reluctantly join the line of provision seekers and then read Parabola for the provisions that really matter. :)

    Thank you, Elizabeth. I’m impressed that you know the lyrics to “Goodnight Irene,” and that it was sung by the Weavers.
