Imagine it

Imagine it

Come with me let's open the door—
If we can imagine it—it
can be done.

Spring urgently rises, from the transition
winter sank deeply into the brown
brittle skeletons of fall’s
frozen harvest.

The land awakens as we embark on our
journey to conquer the dragon—
Fairy magic transforming
the kingdom—
Fragrance

filling the air with insatiable desire—Thirst
swelling as the naked earth
opens—quivering at
the touch of the
sun’s sublime
embrace.

No longer resisting the palpable expectancy
our hearts embrace the earth’s essence—
The glint of green announcing
nature’s rebirth, as we walk
among beds, preparing
to turn our vision
into a garden.

"The reason we keep spending so much money in this country feeding the poor is that so many people are poor."  Chris Hayes, All in with Chris Hayes

Just one agnostic thought . . .

Watching the news and the protesters screaming at buses full of children from the boarder facilities. One woman was screaming "Jesus wouldn't break the law." 

Hum . . . I kinda thought that was sorta what he did when he ran the money changers out of the temple. 

I also thought he said something like "when you do this to the least of these my children, you do also to me." I know I'm not particularly a religious person (and people like the screaming woman might just be part of the reason) but at least I do know that it is inherently wrong to scream at children with such vengeance and hate. 

Pretty sure Jesus would welcome those children with open arms and a loving heart. 

Just one agnostic thought . . .
