Where union defies definition

In giving the “body as living altar”
               “life as prayer”
      –– living as a channel
          of Grace for the
             Love of God ––
    one must be ready to
           know no boundaries…
For this body, this life
   will truly live no boundaries
       Sometimes confused,
           eventually assured and aware
                emotion, thought, word,
                  sensation, movement,
                    stillness, time, illness
                   and term are not
                always its own…
           It knows, in union
              there is no “own”
One must be ready to
         understand misunderstood
         to be naked in all others'
                      clothes
          impregnated “heathen”
                “heretic” to the theologian
             “hopeless” to the healer
           “threat” to the psychiatrist
           “anomaly” to the Holy
           “unexplainable” to the medical
One must be ready
            to be in not being
            to not be in being
One must be ready
            to be all opposites
            for one will live the
            fusion of all opposites
Giving the “body as living altar”
           “life as prayer”
          is not about theology
            not about politic
            nor propositional law
          It is a deep walk
            with and in the midst
               of God
                  where union
                      defies definition
