The poet both haunts and helps at Thanksgiving time when he WTOte: ‘Don't let it be forgot, that once theft was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot." A place, a time, a person, it makes little difference. Camelot has come to mean ‘the height of something special." And Thanksgiving is a time of recalling one's Camelots. It is the reality (or memory) of little children gathered around an open fire in the den finding expressed delight in identifying flickering flames as ‘rabbit ears" or “teddy bear's feet.” Camelot is turkey serv ed full-bodied to family members, but it is more. Camelot is gratitude for life, and the life-giver without whose daily presence there would be no Camelots. It is thankfulness that God is actively, creatively, and redemptively at work in our world and in us. Thanksgiving is reviewing the Camelots along the path and expressing gratitude for each. It is hearing the surgeon say “benign" instead of “cancer": a kindly soul who rings your doorbell to enlighten the load; a letter with words that send doldrums scurry ing for cover, and it is the reality of knowing that God cares: that He is the Source and Resource of ail we shall ever need. But Thanksgiving is better pronounced Thanks-Living,” the only true way to celebrate this Thanksgiving, Camelot Season.
