.....For Justice...take a minute to meditate today! WEDNESDAY This is the fasting that I wish; releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning back on your own. - Isaiah 58:6-7 Silent Story Rattling, a racket, a rattling I heard and spun to pale kitchen curtains tearing back their thin veneer. My stare, blue bleary, locked her eyes, brown, clear as a child’s while metal gates slammed down my mind, barring heart’s admission. Hunger’s incessant jab tattooed the crosshatched face, street-wise, no pillow for her head; hands a wreck exposed, were given stone instead of bread. Plowing through the alley, her rusted cart scrapes by my door; bags of scant stuff bunched in brutal openness. She clatters across broken cobbles while I, in kitchen cozy, smooth close the veil between our worlds, but can’t shut out my sister’s secret: she shelters Christ the Crone. - Maureen Noworyta
