What has value
to you, to others? What has most
value, and who says? What for
instance does the media, the
many medias suggest,
insinuate, or flat-out
tell you to hold dear?
What does your church
tell you and how about
your God or gods and incidentally
your family, school, peer
groups, your nearest friend
or beloved spouse– what do you
treasure after all
the dollars are counted
missing, small hours spent
living both together and
apart– what do you count
on your fingers, cross your
heart, on your toes, your tongue?
What do you uphold in words and act on?
Where do you, yes, yourself follow through
most dependably? Where are you truly
go-to? Where do you live, and where
is your cherished holy place?
