Easter 3 C


Feed Tend Heal

 

questioning
another’s identity
is a never-ending game

 

your claim
of your experience
has no connecting spot with me

 

instead of
entertaining another angel
i can but counter-claim you’re wrong

 

there is little
that will free us
from our privilege

 

so tempting
so addictive
me and my and mine

 

past
relationships
mean nothing here

 

current
life-stories
are not convincing

 

dreams
of a new earth
run aground on my limits

 

miracles are needed here
three at least
and quickly

 

these miracles appear
in commonplace
partnerships

 

only be ready to see anew
to tend to feed to heal
everyone anyway

 

while unready to go there
here crops up
surprise

 

while surprised
we kindly say
welcome

 

and a miracle happens
in honoring your identity
my identity is firmly grounded

 

eyes are opened
hearts are extended
community is deepened

 

tu casa es mi casa
your cause is is not yours alone
there is enough to tenderly feed one another

 

abundant grace
how sweet the life
that joins me with you

love and sing

earth day call
feed the sheep
feed the lambs
feed the sheep

resurrection call
fish until
there are no more fish
cast again and there are fish

conversion call
Saul blinded
Ananias resistant
both come to see more

beauty call
find a dance in mourning
find a song in fear
find a blessing in slaughter

love earth not exploitation
receive a surprise of abundance
remember your best insight
and sing with angels
