seminar time

Pentecost +8 - Year C

a rule of hospitality
is basic to species survival
in a hostile environment

its very requirement
removes it from evaluation
of joy in the doing

continuing education
takes us back to our roots
and pushes our current limits

calling all Martha's and Mary's
its seminar time now
for new opportunities when

hospitality is time critical
hospitality delayed
is hospitality denied

hospitality is basic mercy
keeping the scene
from becoming unjust

hospitality is antidote
for mischief set loose
after a fall is love again

hospitality is steadfast
no matter how many refusals
it can still simply be offered

hospitality is universal
as we model mature living
inviting everyone to a feast

now it is practice time
theory is set
how you doin'?
