Three dollars' worth of God
Something to think about.
I would like to buy three dollars' worth of God, please.
Not enough to explode my soul,
or disturb my sleep,
but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk,
or a snooze in the sunshine.
I don't want enough of Him to make me love a black man
or pick beets with a migrant.
I want ecstasy,
not transformation.
I want the warmth of the womb,
not a new birth.
I want about a pound of the eternal
in a paper sack.
I would like to buy three dollars' worth of God, please.

You are right. Definitely something to think about. God's mirror isn't always easy to take, but the transformation is worth it!
Of course, $3 worth of God would still probably explode our souls!

;) You're probably right about that!
