Logos


So it's midnight. I have not taken my nightly dose of melatonin, and therefore, am not tired enough to go to sleep yet. Dad decided over Labor Day weekend that we should come up with a family blog- So here it is... Feel free to post anything, thoughts/quotes/daily experiences, etc. Mom, don't worry about your spelling or grammar. You know that's not important to us.

My current thoughts in poem form, courtesy of Mary Oliver:

LOGOS

Why wonder about the loaves and the fishes?
If you say the right words, the wine expands.
If you say them with love
And the felt ferocity of that love
And the felt necessity of that love,
The fish explode into many.
Imagine him, speaking,
And don’t worry about what is reality,
Or what is plain, or what is mysterious.
If you were there, it was all of those things.
If you can imagine it, it is all of those things.
Eat, drink, be happy.
Accept the miracle.
Accept, too, each spoken word
Spoken with love.
