"Loaves and Fishes"

A poem by David Whyte
from The House of Belonging
(c) 1996 Many Rivers Press

This is not
the age of information.

This is not
the age of information.

Forget the news,
and the radio,
and the blurred screen.

This is the time
of loaves
and fishes.

People are hungry
and one good word is bread
for a thousand.
