August 8th

"Do not fret because of the wicked;
   do not be envious of wrongdoers,
for they will soon fade like the grass,
   and wither like the green herb." Psalm 37:1-2

we stand at the edge
of the garden as we shake
our heads wondering why
nothing is appearing in 
some of the sections, while
in others, the growth is so slow
you would think we 
we trying to grow molasses,
so surely
it must be that the knuckleheads
slipped in at night and planted
that new variety of anger with
augmented root systems, or
reset the timers on the irrigation
system so it never comes on
because 
we just needed to throw out
those beans of grace, hope,
kindness, peace, love, and 
justice and just wait for them
to grow like in the fairy tales,
right?
