the epiphany of Martha – v2

the epiphany of Martha
in the harsh words
the words of the Master
the words catching her in mid-sentence
the Teacher speaking to her
in a message of love
to stop her words to Mary, to Jesus,
the epiphany of Martha
questioning her focus
not on the important thing
on the better part.
