Coming freshly to this meal,
this Christly banquet,
feast of Soul,
prepared by Love
for morning disciples—
breakfasting
in the spirit of curiosity,
hanging on the edge of expectancy,
turning the eager page
ready to mint coinage in a new currency
(supple, pliable coins, designed
for the marketplace of ideas not items,
for the exchange of thoughts not things)—
what preparation of the heart takes place,
what humbling, meeking, overturning,
stirring, waking, quickening, clearing,
listening, hearing,
feeling,
knowing,
clear discerning!
