CHRIST  LIKES  TO  WALK

 

Christ likes to walk the streets
of our world – entering hearts
and minds – sitting on desks
in lonely offices – while everyone
else has gone out for lunch – or
in malls – or halls – or behind
prison walls.  Christ likes to
enter bread and wine – wind,
laughter and tears – especially
when one’s kids – have begun  
to venture into new ventures and
adventures – and he knows we
need another hand at the till as
we are sailing alone and a storm
is about to push our boat into
choppy waters and we need him
and we need to touch the hem
of his cloak or the hug of his chest.
