The following is a poem i discovered the other morning that deserves to be kept. and shared.
So, friends, every day do something
that won't compute. Love the Lord.
Love the world. Work for nothing...
Love someone who does not deserve it...
Ask the questions that have no answers.
Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias...
Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts...
Practice resurrection.
Wendell Berry, "Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front" in Selected Poems; taken from Luci Shaw, The Crime of Living Cautiously, (Downers Grove: Intervarsity, 2005), 24.
