You catch the snipe with a net spread up in the forest canopy. Take |

Force-feed it oats and millet and figs until it has swollen to four |

at high heat, for six to eight minutes. Bring it to the table. Place |

a cloth -- a napkin will do -- over your head to hide your cruelty |

from the sight of God. Put the whole bird into your mouth, with only |

the beak protruding from your lips. Bite. Put the beak on your plate |

and begin chewing, gently. You will taste three things: First, the |

sweetness of the flesh and fat. This is God. Then, the bitterness of |

the guts will begin to overwhelm you. This is the suffering of Jesus. |

Finally, as your teeth break the small, delicate bones and they begin |

to lacerate your gums, you will taste the salt of your own blood, |

mingling with the richness of the fat and the bitterness of the |

organs. This is the Holy Spirit, the mystery of the Trinity: three |

united as one. It is cruel. And beautiful. |
