Poverty and riches

"Poverty is not primarily about money. It is about having no idea what to do and/or having no one with whom to do it."
-Sam Wells

Most of my younger siblings and I on Hoodoo Mountain a couple weeks ago. (Me, Naomi, Seth, Lydia, Abbi, Abel, Silas, Elsi, Becki) This is after several hours and much cold and wet happened, after monster cookies and target shooting, after reeses peanut butter cups and movie quoting and piggy back rides and using binoculars and cameras a lot.

As Kingfishers Catch Fire

by Gerard Manley Hopkins

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;

As tumbled over rim in roundy wells

Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's

Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;

Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:

Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;

Selves - goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,

Crying What I do is me: for that I came.

I say more: the just man justices;

Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;

Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is -

Christ - for Christ plays in ten thousand places,

Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his

To the father through the features of men's faces.
