If you had the task of keeping a fire going

On a cold winter night,

There would be little that is more important

Than making sure there’s enough wood.

Just as communication keeps a relationships alive,

Or prayer keeps a church thriving,

Or providing a service justifies a company’s existence

Or writing keeps a writers pen wet

Or how love holds our humanity together.

There are many things we can do in a day,

But only a few truly hold it altogether.

More wood.
