We have several friends who excel in hospitality.
In Boulder, I always felt like the ugly duckling,
Not ever quite the most-loved, the most-popular,
And it frustrated me both in its understandability
And its predictability.
So it caught me off-guard recently to realize both
That our home may be the most-popular,
And that we might, inadvertently, discourage others
From using their gift of hospitality.
The former I have no wish to change;
The latter I have no idea how to prevent.
But it is good for me to consider my heart,
That hospitality is not a competition,
That there is room for us all,
And, indeed, need.
