LANDSCOPE

Our daily landscape or landscope
affects and effects us everyday….
The pause, the look, the scanning
of the morning sky as we step out
to our outside…. It’s a new day today.

Jesus said to see the birds of the air
and the lilies of the field, fig trees and
fruit trees and what’s going on in the
marketplace. See the funeral going by.
It could be a widow’s only son.

And make sure we see Lazarus
at our door - as well as the poor -
and the child who needs our attention.
Listen to those - nobody listens to….
Touch the lives - of the Untouchables.

See the broken bread people. Look
into their eyes. Have a  sense of the
rich red blood of Jesus - like wine -
flowing through the stories of
each person we meet today. "Hi!"

Bring them all home this evening as
we celebrate supper with each other.
Let us pray with and for them before we
fall asleep at the end of our day and we
turn off the lights of our daily landscape.
