write for bookshelves,
i want to write for pockets,
backpack collections,
mental,fair archives while
we tear our hair out
remembering,
prepare ourselves for
boons we don't deserve,
gentle our hearts,
patience before any
other treasures He's giving,

(from 'Pachomian Koinonia' on Pachomian monastic life):
'..without theorizing and reflecting, the rule sets up in a very realistic fashion a doctrine of personal renunciation and communal charity flowing out of the Gospel.'
