Provision and Providence

There is holiness, and ordinariness, in providing for another.

Vino Wong

Before anything reaches our table,
there are hands we may never see.

Hands that cast.
Hands that mend.
Hands that carry.
Hands that prepare.

There is dignity in ordinary work.
And perhaps holiness, too,
in quietly providing for another.
