Jupiter and Saturn: align across the bayou sky.
A few days before Christmas, Meredith contemplates all of us coming together like Jupiter and Saturn above. As winds blow leaf circles on earth, she considers the great divide between humans and seeks mother Mary's wisdom and comfort for our "collective unease". So much work around Christmas time, baking, cleaning, and tired children. She wonders if Mary and Joseph had an oven to bake ginger cookies. What are we celebrating? Hope, hopefully.

And as Meredith stares up at the night sky above, at Jupiter and Saturn, she thinks, "how fortunate we are".
