I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

There is enough
“If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it
cannot save the few who are rich.
[Inaugural Address, January 20 1961]”
― John F. Kennedy
----------------------------------------------------------
There is enough
There is enough to feed the hungry
Clothe the naked
And house the homeless
There is enough to teach our children
Well
There is enough
If, a few do not hug too much to themselves
If those with the money
And those with the power
Understand that what they have is due to
Sacred generosity
And is meant to be shared
And understand that the is courage,
And intelligence among the poor
And people who work hard, so hard
Combatting so much, so much
And are still poor
There is enough if the rich do not exalt themselves
And see themselves as entitled
Who deserve it all
And the poor, all those precious souls
Seen as lazy moochers
Who deserve nothing
If we over value the rich
And devalue the poor
If our society does not put its resources to work
helping the many who are poor
The rich few will ultimately
Fall
And so we all
will
fall
