ONE BODY

by Mary E. Fitzpatrick
Billings, Montana, 1995

This is my body, this bread.
This bread-making Earth,
Your Earth-made companions,
Eating Sun, being food,
my body.
Do so, be so, my body.

This is my blood, this wine.
River and field transformed
To transforming spirits, then
Transforming Spirit,
mind-shaper,
eye-changer.
We drink together
when you see who we are.

I am the Universe,
you are the Planet.
You are the wounded,
grieving Planet;
Fear not!
The Universe is Compassion.
You are the Beauty,
the living Planet.
Rejoice! the Universe
is Adventure.
You are the Planet.
within the One.
We are the Promised Land.
