Well, I suppose I can't let the day go by without at least a few hastily composed words. While there are other commemorative and feast days which I might celebrate more enthusiastically, there are probably few such days whose very name is more true for me!
The word - a gift to open minds -
inflames our passions, shares the heart,
brings hurt or healing, war or peace,
expresses our most secret thought,
provides a means for discrete minds
alien ideas to comprehend,
rejects or welcomes foreigners,
creates enemies, nurtures friends,
isolates or unites neighbors,
hardens or tears down a wall,
casts judgment or embraces souls,
speaks prejudice or hope for all,
terrifies, soothes, rages, comforts,
works, entertains, excites, teaches,
reminds, distracts, enslaves or frees,
hates and loves, disdains and reaches.
It's but a vessel to convey
our very selves to one another.
How apt: the Father spoke the Word
to bring us home in love forever.
