is awake all night
worries over and again.
When morning rises
he is restless still,

It’s hard to live by ideals and pay the bills, so people give up ideals. And you, as a visionary, have a choice to make.
You can scoff, eyeroll, guffaw, sneer. You can think of them as robots, zombies, dullards, drones. You can look down at them like the Wicked Witch of the West. Like a samurai beheading a peasant.

Every time I put on that white alb and tie the cord around my waist (incorrectly, I’m sure), I feel that I’m drawing near to something Holy. And when I stand before the congregation with my wine-filled…
