Hope & Baking Powder

The power of leavening

I was just thinking

one morning

during meditation

how much alike

hope

and baking powder are:

quietly

getting what is

best in me

to rise,

awakening

the hint of eternity

within

I always think of that

when I eat biscuits now

and wish

that I could be

more faithful

to the hint of eternity,

the baking powder

in me.
