I hear my own voice from a distance:
I don’t want to say the words of what happened.
Some days I’m floating around and don’t know it
— Ryann Stevenson, from “INTERIOR LIFE,” Human Resources

"I said to him, I said "Robert, you ..."
(I take a turn and never hear what he says to Robert after all.)

It's like—I've finally moved outside my head—I don't think I'll go back.

"Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live." John 5:25 DRC
How many of us come into close contact with others who are spiritually dead?
When Jesus comes to Martha and Mary following the death of Lazarus, He asks her if she believes that He is the resurrection and the life, and she confesses her belief that He is the Son of God. It is her faith that plays an integral role in Lazarus' resurrection.
"Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?" John 11:40b DRC
It can be hard to worship in smaller parishes, with less reverent parishioners. Where ugly red bricks abound, and the desire for fellowship is nonexistent. But I realized when reading these passages that when we truly believe in the power of Christ, He can bring the spiritually dead in the pews next to us back to life.

“To be a good servant of God is not to be always consoled, always in sweetness, always without aversion or repugnance for virtue; if it were, then neither St. Paul, nor St. Theresa, nor St. Catherine of Siena, would have properly served God. To be a good servant of God is to be charitable towards our neighbor, to possess an inviolable resolution in the superior part of the soul to follow the will of God, to have such a profound humility and simplicity as will make us confide entirely in God and rise again when we fall, to endure patiently ourselves and our abjections, and to endure tranquilly our neighbors and their imperfections.”
St. Francis de Sales, Consoling Thoughts on Trials of an Interior Life

I always dreamed I would have a home open to happening: weekend coffee with everyone gathering in the kitchen, dinner parties which leave laughter ringing in empty rooms for days afterwards, our bed a shore and us a wave crashing down in the early hours. In the morning, I get up and see our sofa made up with an array of pilows, knowing our home is full of our friends makes my heart hurt with the bursting joy of it all

A Skull
Dana Levin
is like a house           with a brain inside. Another place where eating           and thinking                      tango and spar—
At night            you lean out, releasing thought balloons.            On the roof                       someone stands ready
                      with a pin—
