If you were walking
and saw a hungry child
on the Road,
would you not stop
and offer nourishment?
Sister, Wake up!
You are that child!
Stop!
Right now!
Don’t take another step!
Sit down at the table called stillness—even if it is for 1 breath!
A feast has been prepared for you.
All you need to do is show up.
The wise say this kind of meal
feeds millions!
Might satisfy an entire planet!
And here, there are no dishes to clean up!
