Loaves and Fishes by David Whyte



A charming purple house in Pescadero that I painted last week.





Loaves and Fishes



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.
