  • Squirrel Wisdom...

    I was looking for poems for today's session exploring sacraments/ordinances.  I stumbled across this one, which I like, and, I think, fits quite well with an 'everything is sacred' (hyper-Aquinas =  hypo-Zwingli, everything meets around the back) perspective.  Anyway, I like squirrels, and once, a very long time ago, was blessed by an angel in the form of a squirrel with an injured tail.

     

    The Sacraments (attributed to Francis of Assisi)

    I once spoke to my friend, an old squirrel, about the Sacraments —
    he got so excited.

    and ran into a hallow in his tree and came
    back holding some acorns, an owl feather,
    and a ribbon he found.

    And I just smiled and said, “Yes dear,
    you understand:

    Everything imparts His grace.
