Breaking Bread

Neville

Breaking Bread

 

As you live and breathe in your

World I live and breathe in mine

 

Yet the distance set between us

Marks empty space and time

 

Tho since you have your life ahead

And mine is hanging by a thread

 

Come my friend and break some bread

Before I have to love and leave you….

  • dusk arising

    A message of companionship offered to a traveller upon their own journey to destiny.

    Somehow this is a very comforting read.

    Reflecting upon my thoughts I realise that I actually do regard all life forms in this way. But i guess that's just a part of faith in reincarnation.

    What a marvel it could be to be reincarnated, with a conscience, as a tree or a coral.

      What a lovely message DA.. it seems we have certain similar beliefs and values.... All Good Things to ya and truly.... N

      I thought you was having Communion there - bread and wine?!
      At one church I was flummoxed. They asked 'Are you receiving?' Am I a radio signal? But they meant do I intend to receive the bread and wine today?

        I hear ya loud and clearly.... over and out ...

      • Fay Slimm.

        Pathos runs through these lines of invitation and what a mantra to chose is the breaking of bread together for lasting friendship - an really emotive read Nev............

          Well expressed
          well written
          well red.

            A loaf of Bread
            A Glass of Wine
            And YOU beside my side !

            BRIAN HERE NEVILLE - Thanks for caring & sharing
            There is something very Cathartic (& Spiritual even ?)
            about *Breaking Bread* with a FRIEND or a STRANGER !
            ANGELA & I met at a Dance - BUT - It wasnt the SLOW
            DANCES that sparked our ROMANCE - But when we
            *Broke Bread Together* and swapped experiences
            @ Buffet Time ! We also shared a glass of RIOJA
            (which is Her Dads Business) and conversed in
            Spanish which is both our Second Language. BUT
            something special happend when I broke a CRUSTY
            COB (with my hands) buttered it and gave her half
            to eat with her SOUP (and I with mine) when something
            special passed between us. We still do it when SOUP &
            CRUSTY COBS are on the MENU - AMEN !

            BLESSINGS & PEACE & JOY
            Yours BRIAN & ANGELA

              Breaking bread with friends or strangers is so rewarding in that you are sharing something in common with people who have trod a different path.

              • Neville

                thank you GF60 for your encouraging and sage like response to these words...
