Not some abstract lesson
a recitation of the law
the question of the lawyer
needing to a parable
a real-life example
for us all to us
The rest of the dialogue
to be a true neighbor
loving our enemies
as we love ourselves
being God’s hands
his feet in the world
Caring for those in the road
in the dark places
abused, oppressed
hidden in the shadows
crying out in pain
ignored, inconvenient
left for half dead
Stepping forward
for those we find in need
inconvenient moments
of epiphany
Stopping our busy work
even for the Lord
Being his hands and feet
when our neighbor calls
