Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims which begins
on May 27.
Today’s poem is a Ramadan poem about the beauty of following
religious ritual.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Return to the sweet discipline of faith!
A ritual is rich in grace and feeling.
Make yourself a servant that you might
Attend with less of will and more of sight,
Doing what is asked, not what's appealing,
Alive with light, free of want and hate.
Nor does one moment pass that is not healing.
