A Farmer's Fondest Dream


     Acre after acre of corn
        stretching to the horizon

     Markets enough in heaven
        for customers to buy in

Hello Gerhson, What lingers for me is the tension between plenty and desire, as if the dream itself can’t escape the pull of transaction. It certainly opens a wide space to think about what we value and where we imagine fulfillment lives. Autumn Blessings, Gershon, Daniel
