Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with
him. So Jesus asked the twelve, "Do you also wish to go
away?" Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom can we go? You have
the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and know that you
are the Holy One of God." John 6:66-69

we could head
down to Money Street,
joining
all the others in that
chase to gain
more and more, only
to have it slip
through our lives like
sand;
we could follow
the latest supercelebelete
on every social media
at our disposal,
only to discover
that they are so focused
on themselves, they
would never be able
to pick us out of a
crowd;
we could attend every
rally
of our party,
waving our signs,
bumpersticking our cars,
throwing our moeny
into their pockets,
and watch the plastic-smiled
politicos
rush to their private jets
for a golf match;
or
we could go to
poor,
simple,
accepting
unconditionally,
loving
eternal
you.
