Thank you Susan.<br /><br />Apparently, ED never took communion at church, as a child because of Christian custom or as an adult because of agnostic honesty. But both children and agnostics can joyously partake in the Sacrament of Indian-Summer, its bread and wine the golden hues and crisp cool air.<br />Larry Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029797379711350813.post-91698904502747423712022-08-30T13:25:43.263-07:002022-08-30T13:25:43.263-07:00I wouldn't get too involved in one-to-one comp...I wouldn't get too involved in one-to-one comparisons.

Is the last leaf the communion bread? What does she mean by “permit a child to join?” And what is the immortal wine compared with in fall?Amitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029797379711350813.post-90455325975500378582020-10-04T05:42:22.395-07:002020-10-04T05:42:22.395-07:00I so much love this poem.
