Beggars at the gate take their chances.
And decide, whether it means food or death, they’ll surrender.
They’re going to die anyway in the midst of siege and growing scarcity.
So they head to the enemy’s camp.

Out loud and on the page.
Meditating on God’s Word looks like a little of both.
Voicing the verse.
Writing it by hand.
Sound and touch.
Hearing. Seeing.

Isolation. The ancient proverb speaks true about present reality. In our connected world.
Where media takes a word like “social” and turns it upside down.
“The one who isolates himself pursues selfish desires;
he rebels against all sound wisdom.”
Proverbs 18:1
