we are one

dream

We

(a crowd of us)

are lost in a serious way--

not just a wrong turn, but major lost--

with not much chance of ever being home again.

I pipe up, "Is this to teach us what it is to be lost, and then found... like in Amazing Grace?"

As if it were all an exercise, rather than reality. Then a pair of ministers-- a married couple-- appears

and one ( the woman) says, "Once you have had a tear, you will understand." She goes from person to person, as if serving communion.

But what she gives out is a teardrop, one for each. ..
