    when today’s random miracles are gathered

    in the cargo holds of departed dreams

    fuelled by the sound of sirens coming down the street

    and stopping next door  one appreciates even more

    the intractable lines of Czech verse, translated.  

    the left-over dhal and rice. 

    the gift of home-grown tomatoes

    to be sliced and eaten with salt.  

     

    nothing then

    is too much or too little. 

    things come and go. 

     

    we rejoice

    in what is given

    Monty Williams, SJ, works in the Spiritual Exercises ministry, is a lecturer at Regis College, Toronto, and is on staff at the Jesuit Communication Project, Toronto.
