"We seldom notice how each day is a holy place
where the
Eucharist of the ordinary happens."
~John O'Donahue
Out beyond Christianity
Mary Magdalene and Jesus are dancing
in a garden where things grow wild,
where things grow simply into what they are.
Many paths lead here, not one,
and the gates are always open.
Over each there is a sign that says,
“Wanderers Welcome.”
Mary thinks Jesus is less like a god
than a gardener, and he is.
They drink the wine that turns
these temples into bodies again.
She reaches out to take his hand,
and he lets her.
There are three rules here:
Yearn, Risk Everything, Connect.
