Wisdom Not Lost

Wisdom that transcends

fads and cultures and nations and time;

a classical spiritual practice

proven through millenia of Christian love.

The one thing necessary.

In the modern world, relationships are atomized;

the wisdom of love —

community, stability and attention to one's heart —

goes unheard. Love is homeless.

Yet hope is certain, God is Creative, and lo! — what have we?

Tools that let us be present to one another

in prayer without ceasing;

technology that shelters communities that will form us to love

with wisdom not lost, but rather called

to greater perfection.
