2. Hunger of the Heart - Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday is forever in my consciousness associated with floppy construction paper palm leaves, leaving the scriptural story caught in a kind of never never land of childish thought. But these days that will not do.

So, here’s what I hope is a fresh interpretation of the palm parade for those willing to listen with their hearts. Communion will be served to all those willing to be fully present.

As we navigate our own uncertain times together, may a thousand flowers of sanity bloom, each valid so long as it is viable in buoying the human spirit it animates. And may we remember the myriad terrors and uncertainties preceding our own, which have served as unexpected awakenings from some of our most perilous civilizational slumbers.
