Can’t Sit Still.

LENT DAY 38
MAUNDY THURSDAY

My feet

Washing my feet

Someone else washing my feet?

I’m supposed to just sit here?

But I feel awkward

Ohhhhh I feel all jumpy inside

Are you sure you want to wash my feet ?

Don’t you see the dirt ?

That’s all I can see

“oh dear One, I can’t see any dirt at all; I know all of you. I do this as I Love you.

Gently

Softly

Rolling my hands across your feet

And your face

I’m

So

Crazy

In

Love

With

You

As you are in this moment

Not as you should be

Or could be

As you are

This moment is about you and me

Here

In this moment

I’m just cleaning your feet

But not because they are soiled

But because they’ve not had the perfume of my love rubbed gently over them

See ?

It’s ok

I made you. I know your feet.

Do you?”

EDITOR’S NOTE: Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter, observed to commemorate Jesus Christ’s institution of the Eucharist (communion) during the Last Supper. The name is a Middle English derivation taken from a Latin anthem sung in Roman Catholic churches on that day: “Mandatum novum do vobis.” “A new commandment I give to you” in John 13:34. –Debora Buerk, Editor.
