One Last Time

"The Last Supper" by Brazilian artist Ana Martin

"What We Need is Here"

Geese appear high over us,

pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,

as in love or sleep, holds

them to their way, clear

in the ancient faith: what we need

is here. And we pray, not

for new earth or heaven, but to be

quiet in heart, and in eye,

clear. What we need is here. 

-- Wendell Berry

Last Supper X

If you crossed Da Vinci's "Last Supper" with the recent science fiction film "Annihilation," you'd get this beauty by Vladimir Kush.

"... A Stranger and You Invited Me In..."

Saint Boniface Catholic church in San Francisco, where about 70 homeless people are quietly sleeping in pews at the back of the church, as they are allowed to do every weekday morning, with worshipers praying harmoniously in front of them. The church welcomes them in as part of the Catholic concept of extending the helping hand.
