Saint Jerome
is quoted as saying,
one day after he was
out praying:

“Jesus was born on a
dungheap because
that’s where he knew
he’d find us.”

It is profound.
Might even astound
or be taken with
a frown.

Wisdom is always
out there to help,
please or confound
us.

Consequences vary,
often run contrary to
human-vanity & our
fear of a cemetery.
