PRACTICE RESURRECTION 

So, friends, every day do something that won't compute.  Love the Lord.  Love the world.  Work for nothing.  Take all that you have and be poor.  Love someone who doesn't deserve it.  Give your approval to all you cannot understand.  Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed.  Ask the questions that have no answers.  Invest in the millennium.  Plant sequoias.  Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest.  Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold.  Call that profit.  Prophesy such returns.  Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years.  Laugh.  Laughter is immeasurable.  Be joyful though you have considered all the facts.  Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction.  Practice resurrection.
