Ash Wednesday Meditation For Catholics And Protestants Of High Liturgical Bent Poem by Bill Grace

Ash Wednesday Meditation For Catholics And Protestants Of High Liturgical Bent



Mark Lizana shared the professional insight
That the power of a sealed casket is such we turn to soup.
Which is good theology given our proclivity for hubris,
Dust being a far more dignified destiny
Than the Psalmist's King James 'breath'.


***Influenced by the classic intonement: 'Remember man that thou art dust and to dust thou shalt return' and Psalm 144.
