a calculation
cold hard math
a profit? What else!
Silver. Ah.
The sum of it all
so much for now
for security, stability, certitude
the price small
one kiss.
a calculation
running the world is hard
Profit? Of course!
Prosperity. Ah.
so much (for some at least)
for poverty, disease, despair
the price small
one choice.
a calculation
salvation is hard.
But what profits a man?
A life kept? Ah …
so much compassion, so much hope
for brokenness, hurt, sorrow
the price small
one life.

"... so that they may not look with their eyes,
and listen with their ears,
and comprehend with their minds,
and turn and be healed.” Isaiah 6:10
The first white travelers to this place called it "plain," a title we wear as a badge of honor. The world needs more to seek out truths that are plain, untarnished by hatred, bias or greed. It is good for us to struggle with things that are hard; there is much value in standing helpless before the great sky, and much to learn when you are surrounded by vast horizons.
