Water and Wine

Water and Wine it is a matter of belief a religious persuasion that the conversion was a miracle unquestioned.. marking a tribe.. might we find an expression of this astonishing story for a more universal understanding.. to his mother he was direct: that his hour had not yet come.. how we ask is this related to the rest of the story.. water stands forth as our essence divine.. wine for all experience for lives seeming to be separate.. the Cana conversion calmly asserts: wine is made of water.. a new hour will know suffering born of fear and desire a forgetting of Cana.. wine is resurrected recognized as water our essence clarified as a miracle unveils... (ref: John 2: 1-11)
