Blog City Prompt: Let's use these words in our entry today: twenty-three, candles, allocation, seed, explain, meet, and descent. Have fun!

It is September twenty-three today. I walked into the kitchen to soft boil a couple of eggs. Sitting on the counter were two unopened packages of birthday candles. I looked at them wondering why they were there and who they were for. The packages' allocation totaled forty-eight. I turned around and walked back to my desk to retrieve my birthday list. The list had disappeared. In its place was a tiny mustard seed.

I carried the seed back to the kitchen and showed it to my daughter. I had given her a necklace with a tiny mustard seed in it when she was young. She recognized the seed I showed to her.

"Do I need to explain?" I asked.

"No, Mom, I remember".

I told her I strive to meet the needs of others. I fell short with a close friend a few weeks ago and made a plunging descent into the depths of despair. And that is where it stands as I write this.
