Religious and spiritual poem about hope, humility, and Communion. A statement, an expresssion on the experience of Communion in the Episcopal Church (Priest Richard Helmer who is Rector of Church of Our Saviour, Mill Valley, California says the same words as other US Episcopal Churches in Communion). These words from the poem: Coming back, to the self. All day, wait on the love, recognizing relationship-- Self to man, self to others, To the self with God. "Parish Poet" Peter Menkin is an Oblate, received about 1994 and a postulant in the year 1993. Received at Incarnation Monastery, the study house of the Camaldose monks in Berkeley, California, USA, like all Oblates he is encouraged to enter into the liturgy, and this poem expresses that desire.
