THANK YOU

“Thank you”:

two short words

that try to sum up -
but they really can't -

the wide width,

the high height,

the deep depth,

of the feelings of gratitude

and generosity

that grow and groan -

and sometimes emerge up

and out of the human heart,

but like Christ

in the garden,

Christ on the Cross,

Christ in the Bread,

if we’re open today,

he’ll bring us communion,

Holy Communion

with each other -
this day and any day we choose.

Amen.
