Maundy Thursday


And now,
after close to 40 days of desert time,
the last feast stands before us.
Our feet are washed, the food is served;
The noise of preparation,
the shuffling of chairs,
the jockeying for position,
the happy chatter slowly stills;
a banging on the glass
calls us to attention:


Eat,
Drink,
Love one another
in remembrance of Me.
