"When love is there, is not the treasure?
When it is not, who could blame a face that looks sad?" Hafiz

It is interesting
is it not
that we can have so much
be so blessed
and yet be so unhappy?
"We are not an unhappy people!" you say?
look around!!!
at the anger
the fear
the grasping
people calling each other
stupid
moron
retard
at people trying to decide
which candidate
which philosophy of governance
which tax laws (we really do see them as soooo important)
will benefit them
enrich them
yes
make them happy
we seek the hidden treasure
through our greed and anger
through power
through our cars
our house
our influence
our jobs
our titles
we seek the treasure
and lash out
in frustration
when we cannot find it
yet there it is,
right there!
the treasure
in the hug of a friend
in the precious affection of our beloved
in the tiny tug
and toothless grin of a grandchild
in the majestic beauty of a winter day
in the wonder of God's love
when love is there
is not the treasure?

Ps 63:3-5
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
