Who may dwell on your holy hill?" Psalm 15:1
like the tent at
the World Quidditch Match,
your dwelling place seems
to be able (and willing)
to offer accommodations
for everyone (with room to spare),
and when you fed
those thousands on the grass
long, long ago, we realized
that it is the hungry and the hopeful,
the forgotten and the frenetic,
the lonely and the loving families,
the faithful and the foolish,
the ones we know as well as
the ones known only to you
who gather on the hill made holy
by your selfless love.
