There was pizza at the PD but I wanted one with healthy
ingredients. Kale, black olives, green onions, tomatoes, chicken, tomato paste,
cheese, and a basil and garlic crust. Good dinner. Today is a catch up day with
shopping and errands. The guest house needs a quick dust and vacuum. Want to
write about my relationship with church before the talk with Father David
tomorrow. I found a Mary Oliver poem that says what I want to say.
The Eucharist
Something has happened to the bread and the wine.
They have been blessed. What now? The body leans
forward to receive the gift from the priest’s hand, then the chalice.
They are something else now from what they were
before this began.
I want to see Jesus, maybe in the clouds or on the shore,
not walking, beautiful man and clearly someone else besides.
On the hard days I ask myself if I ever will.
Also there are times my body whispers to me that I have.
