It’s not smart to become numb -
to become inoculated by self -
so as to not notice the person
right next to us - who is hurting,
who is hungry, who is poor, who
is reaching out to us, who wants
to say something - because when
we become numb to others, we are
not receiving holy communion
with the rest of the body - and
Christ remains - just is in the dark -
not being eaten up - just stuck in too
many metal or wooden tabernacles.

Christ no longer walks our streets.
Christ no longer talks at our tables.
