The poems of Cries of Earth and Altar speak of human laughter, mystery, work, play, sorrow--and even rage--as an oblation set upon heaven's high altar, which, as Calvin noted, is Christ himself. Upon that altar, the cries of earth are made a cry of glory, "Abba, Father" (Mark 14:36; Rom 8:15)! With the exception of those poems labeled "out of season," each poetic text is given a place in the Christian liturgical calendar: Advent-Epiphany, Transfiguration Sunday, Lent-Pentecost, and Ordinary Time. In the concluding essay, poetry and preaching are spoken of as fragile indicatives that implicitly call into question all claims of inviolability and permanence for humanly wrought systems of thought, common life, and governance. They survive as verbal, vocal, and physical gesture, as ink turned into blood.
New dawns in life can break even at seventy-one, for the best things in life may yet be at the door. Joint families, grandparents, a treasure house of love that gives security in life and helps one face even adversities with fortitude and equanimity – these are not things that gadgets can give. It is in giving that we receive. Give away love, and it will come back to you. Love conquers all. The seed of God's love implanted in your heart helps you reach out with overflowing love. What difference can you make in life, and where?
