when staring at e. e. cummings’ little ‘i’
—not reading,
it reminds me of st. francis’ sublime yet humble lowly jesus:
“he hides himself under the little form of bread”

if cummings’ little ‘i’ meant
the ‘i’ overpowered by something like gigantic rock,
overwhelmed by this evil prevailing world,
or intimidated by...

Along with Jesus' discourse as the Bread of Life,
bears a powerful meaning of his divinity.
It's a metaphor with spiritual truth,
that identifies himself as food for our souls.

As a sign of his broken body and his shed blood;
the inner call reflects to abide in him.
We partake...

We blind Bartaemus we have heard about the temple gate
But have seen no road, nor map for getting there
We only day after day hear the direction the footsteps wears away
And wait injudiciously for the balm of our impediment,
For the seeming joy of crowds coming back

Down, down to the Earth, 
hide your shameful face. 
What is a man without grace? 
But an Animal 
insane and base. 
Fight your inner demons
with your mind. 
Free yourself to fly
Up, up to the sky....

Lasting Treasure (2/11/23)

Lord, in this Bread
I see Thy Face
Bread that’s not bread
Sight of which, the only trace

O Jesus, Your countenance
With radiance shines
Garment of white
This beauty, Thine

Highest Priest, adorned in glory
Red stole, Your mercy reminds us of
Your Body and Blood always given
On Your altars from Above

Your...

I
Bread has an everyday demanding presence, not daily dough
But daily fare across the miles, across ancient ways and wonders
Built by bread in bellies of slaves and laborers: pyramids and others

These days, when I say bread, I think of communion
The first with Abraham, when Melchisadek met...

Purple and red of a very rare sunset flowing up - 
Are the colours of the Cremisan wine where Christ did die, 
That the rays of grace may shine when every star is present, 
That the divine sparks may rejoice in the taste of the...

What but as bread, This appears to be
Is You, Lord, it’s truly Thee
It is You, Lord, I now receive
This is true, not just because I believe

My belief cannot create
Can’t sew a seed, give man a mate
Can’t fashion out of dust
One who knows You, merciful and...

Honored Bread (3/6/23)

O honored bread
‘Pon table, blessed
To become the Christ
Who withstood our test
In moment’s word
Our Lord, confessed
Priest’s own hand
Holds belov’d Guest

Once but mere bread
From earthen tomb
Hail we, our King
From Heaven’s womb
O Bread of Life
Our dear Groom
You cause our hearts
To make You room

Once but mere bread
Which...

Wine is the mother of all 
Bread is the son who made all 
Wine leaks through the gigantic wall
Bread makes that very loud call

This is my body and blood

The bread is the kind waker
Yet is the one who is slayed
It was before the baker
Despite the...

Salt from the sands of Egypt 
Sprinkled into wine 
To banish dark memories 
Red wine mixed with myrrh 
Infused with pink salt 
Through wisdom
Praise!...

This is the day
We break the bread
Cup full of wine
To numb the head

This is the day
When truth reveals
The veil of lies
A mind conceals

This is the day
We knew would be
That thorny cap
Of destiny

Awaits the king
Of hearts and minds
Releasing all the
Chain that binds

This is the day
A final...
