The heart
grows weary
of endless
debate.
Abstraction:
a human talent,
but not
a human virtue.
Keep it simple,
concrete, and local.
What can be touched,
can be counted upon.
Live now;
die later.
In between,
be alive
to the glory
and possibility
of Creation.
Pursue the eternal
through the portal
of your living flesh.
Difficult,
frustrating,
necessary.
If only this
can be done,
it is enough.
