Our weaknesses are the way to God
Tell me why it is through the body
through torment of the body you speak to the spirit
why through leprosy fever deafness
You are a healer and not a priest
you take in your hands the head of the dying
from one lump you bring forth new life
like bread you multiply the body
You come through bodies not through sunsets
and the hard strong hand of blood and flesh
holds in the palm like a sparrow
the muscle of the human heart
~ Anna Kamienska
