KITCHEN
SINK
Not everyone has one – but most do.
I look – or better – I notice style.
When I’m putting my used bowls
and plates into a kitchen sink
I’m getting a glimpse into the
personality of another – those
into saving water – those
who
do things immediately
– those
who let plates soak till time
to put supper together. Me?
I don’t have to do the dishes.
Not fair – not a bad deal.
But it makes me think,
“What am I like? What am I like?”

SIDEWAYS
Sometimes we figure it out
that the best way to approach
another is sideways – that is,
through the back or side door.
We know – just know – this is
the best way to go – to get to
where we want to go – but
going frontways – face to face –
just doesn’t work. Worse:
it’s the worse way to go.

DESCRIBE WHAT LOVE IS?
Tell me what love is like?
It's listening.
It's thinking of the other.
It's the cross.
It's putting the others first.
It's caring.
It's forgiving.
It's not taking the seat you want.
It's not always being frustrated.
It's not knowing and always going bonkers about that.
It's giving the uninteresting a call now and then.
It's knowing there is more than me.

It we
start talking to each other,
the
other or we ourselves will
tell
the other our disappointments.
This
takes time and the aging process.
We didn’t
finish a plan or a hope.
We
made a promise never done.
The
other might have died or
moved
away and that’s that.
Or we
could make a phone call
and make
a confession of
our
sins or broken promises
or we
can forgive others.
If we
get this we can get what
the
Catholic Church has in
the Sacrament
of Reconciliation
or “Going to Confession”.
