The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome.

The time will come

and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.

Sit. Feast on your life.

Our first #TuesdayBookClub of 2026 is Omeros by Derek Walcott. An epic poem that drew me in slowly, then completely—revealing how history lives on in people, places, and the sea itself. A remarkable way to begin the year. 📚🌊 #Omeros #DerekWalcott #booksky
