BROKEN  BREAD

 


The broken bread

can unite us because

all of us have been broken,

all of us have been hurt.

Like last night a nasty word –

or that rejection last night.

Yet we stand with, around

and behind each other

at this morning Mass.

We move forward, toward the altar

to receive the broken bread

which brings us back together

again – whole and undivided –

one loaf of bread – one with,

around and in each other.

PERFORMANCE

 

If I became a drama teacher would I be satisfied

with my performance so far? On stage. Acting out ….

Saying my lines. Doing my thing. Living my public life.

 

But backstage – what are my thoughts and feelings?

Ugly feelings? Satisfied? Wondering? Reviews?

What kind of reviews would I give myself so far?

RHYTHM AND BLUES

 

First of all, you have to have them:

the blues.

You also have to have good sound:

rhythm.

Take the time to be aware

of what you’re really feeling:

hurt, hurried, or deep down down.

Next comes the music –

aware of those clouds –

aware of the rain.

Feel that weather

before it changes,

before it floats away.

Capture it: the rhythm and the blues.
