A Poem To Sit With
14th Sunday of Ordinary Time B
July 5, 2015


Jesus said to them,
“A prophet is not without honor except in his native place
and among his own kin and in his own house.” (Gospel)
 

As fish live
only
in water

we live
only
in Christ

this is Truth

anything
less
is delusion

yet the lie
is
made Truth

and Truth
is
made the lie
