The squirrels are out playing today,
it is a week after the beginning of spring.
The frozen ground is beginning its long thaw,
with inspiration imbuing my spirit.
I find God in their silhouette,
and in the horizon of their backlight.

It is unfortunate, that there are many false prophets teaching today’s youth that individual salvation supersedes doing good works in service to others. The end result is that the faithful will bear the cross while the deceitful will be driving its nails.
