Lectionary Reading:
Acts 4:32-35
CLASSIC POEM:
A Great Need
Hafez
Out
Of a great need
We are all holding hands
And climbing.
Not loving is a letting go.
Listen,
The terrain around here
Is
Far too
Dangerous
For
That.
CONTEMPORARY POEM:
What We Need is Here
Wendell Berry
Snippet:
…
Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear
in the ancient faith: what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye,
clear. What we need is here.
