blast from my altar guild past

cleaning my closet i found a bag of corporals, purificators, lavabo towels--
altar linens inadvertently packed up when i moved to Kabul in 2008

so i washed them and ironed them today
sitting on the floor, listening to Spem in Alium
and remembered again how much i loved this holy mundane task

this small act of worship,
this physical connection and personal contribution to the liturgy


and now back to St. John's at long last they will go!
