Proverbs 3:13-16
The True Wealth
Happy are those who find wisdom,
and those who get understanding,
for her income is better than silver,
and her revenue better than gold.
She is more precious than jewels,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
My newsfeed is full of weirdness
- llamas on the Interstate
- dresses of indeterminable colour
(Something to do with Science)
And crime
- A terrorist being named
(And if knowing someone's name brings power,
hopefully he will soon be apprehended)
- one of my teenage pop idols
being convicted and imprisoned.
And sadness
- the death of Mr Spock
who refused to be defined by that role
but signed his final tweet with
Live long and prosper.
I'm still sifting
and dredging
to find wisdom
But it's out there somewhere.
Llamas and dresses are a welcome distraction to the reality that not everyone is what they seem. Death is a reminder to live. And to live is to seek out the silly distractions such as llamas and dresses to distract from reality and death.
