Smoked trout salad and pink bubbles...
Gentle, inclusive conversation,
Deep respect in listening,
Careful comments of encouragement.
Friendship as ministry, seal and sign of God’s grace.
Stories, memories, opting in and out
of pain and delight, colour and creation,
Sitting with the sharp shards of my heart
and allowing me to collect the pieces,
not rushing to sweep them up or throw them away.
Divine Lamb shared among,
gentled by yoghurt,
Blood-red pomegranate enlivening and sparkling,
offering promise of surprise.
Home-made squeakiness
enhancing the produce of God’s earth,
Grown into usefulness
by sun and rain and the drizzle of olive oil.
The table of God is a pilgrimage of life and faith,
A place of energy and a balm of peace-making.
This table, investing, sacrificing, gifting,
the home of generosity.
Tart explosions of antioxidants nestled in cream and sugar,
Reminders of celebrations past
and love present.
God’s love come close.
