Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the realm of God….
But woe to you who are rich,
for you have received your consolation.
—Luke 6.20, 24
A whole world of grace,
a realm of love,
another dimension
that this one inhabits
but can’t see,
an energy field like gravity, like magnetism,
God’s intimate presence
and fervent desire for your well-being,
the faithful accompaniment of the Beloved,
and the great body of all who love—
all of this is given to you.
This whole realm.
It’s yours.
Unless your hands are full
of something else,
drawn to other treasure.
Blessed are you who are ready to receive it.
woe to you who sit alone
with your pile of coins,
your great power,
satisfied.
