THANK YOU
“Thank you”:
two short words
that try to sum up -
but they really can't -
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.
this day and any day we choose.
Amen.
