YEE GADGETS!

Talk, talk, talk,
text, text, text,
twitter, twitter, twitter,
chatter, chatter, chatter,
Bluetooth, toot, toot,
cellphones, iPhones,
BlackBerries, Droids,
in classrooms, bathrooms,
church, car and street …
Facebook, My Space,
text and pictures,
yak, yak, yak,
words, words, words,
whisper, whisper, whisper,
listening, listening, listening,
while driving and eating,
but is anyone really talking to each other?
Is anyone on the cutting edge of another –
tasting the substance of their true bread,
tasting their essence, being nourished
with Holy Communion with them?
Can anyone hear the silent Love of God
in life’s everyday moments?
Can anyone see the Lord
walking on the waters?
Is anyone walking with the Lord
in the cool of the evening?
Is anyone walking and talking

with the Lord on the Road to Emmaus?**
