Holly invites us to reflect on our spiritual journey. The theme this week is communion. This invitation pushes me to reflect on my spiritual self. Whether you write on a public blog or in a private journal, take some time to reflect, to know your heart a little better, to spend time with God alone.
Take this bread.
Take this wine.
Make it yours.
Make it mine.We come to the table
palms up and raised,
opening our heartsfor nourishment,
for renewal,
for strength,
for comfort.The unleavened wafer
presses on my tongue
an imprint of God’s precious love.I gaze into the cup of wine,
see a reflection–
my eyes, your eyes,
bound together,
in union–
communion.

Reflections on the Teche 
Wow! I just love this poem…this prayer! I want to do more of that. Write. Prayers. Poetry. Such joy and beauty in these words. Thank you Margaret!
Thanks, Michelle. Some days my mind thinks better in poetry. Today was one of those days.
Beautiful words and images. I like how you capture the spirit of communion in your paper. You have a gift.
Thanks. The spirit of communion is a connection that is a total mystery.
The last two stanzas brought tears to my eyes!!
Thanks. Many people these days take the dipping option, but I like to take the cup of wine with my eyes wide open. There is always a reflection.
