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.

JOY
to describe a feeling – of ease –
and peace – and seeing children
at games – or music – or ice cream –
being able to put aside worries of
money – or work – or itchiness in
our basic ongoing relationships.
Letting it go. Letting everything go
and just being in moments filled with joy -
the joy God wants to fill the world with.

CELIBACY
To choose celibacy
is a complex question.
I’m trying it.
Let me tell you,
it’s includes a long
lump of questions.
I’m doing it for this life –
the only one I got.
It takes in not bringing
children in this world.
That’s a big one.
I often wonder what that’s like.
It takes in giving one’s life,
one’s time and one’s energies
for the good of others –
young folks, old folks,
those who need love’s attention.
At the end I’ll let you know –
how it went. So far. So good.
