He took the bread and said the blessing.
And their eyes were opened.
And we sometimes do not see him passing.
And we miss an extraordinary dividend.

I stepped out of the warmth of the cottage into the night.
And thought that within twenty years I will be in the cold cemetery.
All this pampered body out of mind and sight.
But the soul flies away so I suppose it’s not too scary.

Later I dreamt that someone was saying something nasty and political.
But then my wife led me away with a lovely smile.
Thus all things pass , even all things critical.
The soul lives on while they are put away in an unread file.

So there’s no point in worrying about health.
Or indeed about all too temporary wealth.

…….

He said the blessing
And giving the broken bread
Thus opened their eyes
