Widow's Mite


The Gospel for Monday was:
'The Widow's Mite'.
I had always heard homilies which affirmed
The need for giving
Even when it is hard.
Sort of a guilt trip
to becme more generous.
Well Fr Gerry turned it a bit
His question was....
What kind of a society requires its poor
to contribute to its existance?
Hmmm...
That is a bigger question
to ponder,
than my feelings of guilt.

Living

Being involved with life doesn't leave time for anything else...
(A paraphrase from Emily Dickenson.)
So I guess that could mean
Stillness and re-creation is also a part of
Being involved with life
Although I can judge it as 'slacking'.
