“The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, 

and if I repent of any thing it is very likely to be my good behavior.”

“We are made to exaggerate the importance of what work we do; 

and yet, how much is not done by us!”

"Simplify, simplify!"

“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.”

"Make it your goal to live a quiet life, 

minding your own business 

and working with your hands,"

1 Thessalonians 4:11 (NLT)

"How many people have you seen who are more alive at the end of the work day than they were at the beginning? Do we come home from our ‘making a living’ activity with more life? … Where’s all the life we supposedly made at work? For many of us, isn't the truth of it closer to "making a dying"? Aren't we killing ourselves - our health, our relationships, our sense of joy and wonder - for our jobs? We are sacrificing our lives for money – but it’s happening so slowly that we barely notice.”

Not For Sale

That was the surprise.

not the news, 

not what was said,

or wasn't said,

but the discovery, 

the bitter discovery,

that what I had given,

was not for sale.

My heart feels stolen,

my soul feels robbed,

they say, "We were take,

unknowingly,

without a say,

no voice in the matter."

My soul asks, "Why?

why did you do this?

didn't you hear me,

crying out, no?"

My heart cries out, 

"Of course you knew,

or should have known,

there was nothing left,

nothing left to give."

It was a gift,

not a sale,

and now I know, 

the last to know.

So, I take my heart,

I take my soul,

come home now,

"I can hear you."
