Might we liken the Avatar to a fermenting agent?
Yeast added to the dough; to the must;
incrementally altering our nature
and completing thus our destined becoming –
sacred bread and wine; the blood and body of Christ.
Our journeys a transformation rather than a quest,
a rising up from the rough, raw mix into holy bread.
An inevitable organic turning from the murky
skin-and-stem juice and pomace
into clean, lucent, holy wine.
O child of God, your musings and metaphors
could never capture the complexity of the Mystery.
