Feed Tend Heal

Easter 3 - Year C 

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
