what do you do
when the needed ones
become needful
and the empty ones
become full
will the pouring hands
shake
when the overflow spills
anticipating un-necessity
when the doers are done
will they build into themselves
or
will gears grind
while the shine dulls
and they become
Tinmen in the rain
who will bring the oil
when the clockwork winds down
and pendulum swings no more
mute witness
of past purpose
and
purpose past
This is really great. It reminds us that we have a choice. How do we respond to the changes and decisions that others make? We can be built up or torn down – choose to have new purpose or choose despair…

Who is John Galt? Great post. I am thankful for the sense of abundance into which I walk and live each day. It is the only perspective that offers hope. Are there those who live with a sense of need? Yes and for whatever reason there will always be the poor among us. It is the body of the Church whose mission it is to seek out and minister to these. We have done so in part. We could do better. But it is not the roll of Government to become the body of Christ.
