The Sacred

The wine is not sacred.  It merely colours.  The bread is not sacred.  It will leave as we leave.  Rather, the bread and wine create the possibility of a gathering around the table.  The moment spent around the table together, this is sacred.

    Yes, we never recognize what the bread and the wine as sacred until we gather around it at the table.

    Simply incredible how short, yet complete this blog post is.
    There’s no extra words needed, and the idea is indeed entirely complete.
    Beautiful.
