I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

Sunday Afternoon Poetry: “Committed”


by Lindsey Funtik, Coordinator of Volunteer Ministries, Ashland First United Methodist Church,  Ashland, Ohio.
___
There persists in
sacred space
incessant pounding on
the door.
Peace gathers like
alabaster doves,
alighting on 
the floor. 
They are not scared
and do not flee;
here lingers
Bread and Cup.
Soft beckoning between
the din--
"Just keep showing up."
