Sundays and Wednesdays, busy through Lent
After Palm Sunday, one Wednesday
becomes
ThursdayFridaySaturdaySunday
the church year revolves around this weekend
which drains and invigorates,
wears out and builds up
we who give ourselves to church
through the holy days (holidays), words and
actions and thoughts are fed by the
proclamation
to which we are called
and then, SundayMondayTuesday after the alleluias
we ourselves are drained and in need
of new life
so we rest our way back
to the RoutineOrdinaryNormal of life, with its pain
and loss and struggle and all the rest
where we see the truth
of incarnation
