It is simple to look upward,
to cast devotion into the vast, silent blue,
to sing praises to a distant perfection
that demands no earthly patience.
-
But the true altar is not in the clouds.
Our devotion is tethered here,
ascending no higher than the grace
we offer the person we love the least.

“I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least." Dorothy Day
