rowing

“When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick.”  Matthew 14:14 

when we could pay off

school lunch debts,

build more homeless shelters

than fancy sports stadiums,

work for environmental integrity

than buying larger carbon shoes,

we prefer to stay in the boat

gently row, row, rowing away

from the shoreline
