Grace is not just
the gift we’ve been given;
it’s also the given
with which we’ve been gifted;
universal truth delivered
to the whole earth,
wrapped in elemental reality.
It is holy nakedness
allowing us to fully exist
without regard to expectations -
ours or others’ – neither needing
to be more or different,
nor shrinking from the sacred whole
that lies within each one;
fully accepting all failed attempts
of self and other to carry
and deliver its precious meal,
yet never settling until Eucharist’s
broken, blessed, poured, and shared
promise is finally fulfilled in the flesh.
