Only Christianity


"Meditate like Christ. He lost himself in love."
~Neem Karoli Baba
 
This is the only Christianity I know:
At the end of each breath, 
the death of Jesus.
At the rise of each breath, 
the resurrection.
What happened 2000 years ago,
what will happen at the last judgment,
doesn't concern me now.
The sound of a wood thrush
is the end of time.
Because I am awake, 
every dogwood blossom is the Parousia,
the coming of the Christ.
Oh yes, I am a fallen creature
plummeting into grace.
From what should I be saved?
I was never lost.
The One who bears my soul,
a pang of fire in her heart,
can never let me go!
