“the world is turning”

spring song - Lucille Clifton | Trader Joe’s Seltzer With A Splash - Lemon and Ginger

The Poem
spring song - Lucille Clifton

the green of Jesus
is breaking the ground
and the sweet
smell of delicious Jesus
is opening the house and
the dance of Jesus music
has hold of the air and
the world is turning
in the body of Jesus and
the future is possible


The Beverage

Trader Joe’s Seltzer With A Splash - Lemon and Ginger

Hello, this is the beverage formulated just for me in a lab. Here’s what it is: plain seltzer, with lemon and ginger juice in it. Boring? Maybe. But it is light, fresh, feels like something far more interesting and inventive than it is, has no added sugars, and goes down beautifully. Lemon and ginger often feel like a wintery combo to me, in tea or to ward off a cold, but this version feels positively springlike.
