I come to it late in life:

A renouncement to the road.

But I have travelled before.

I have lived on faith

And thrived,

Trived, that is,

In the poverty way one thrives.

But now I prepare to make it my profession.

And I discover that it is just as much work as anything else.

And to do it right,

I must throw myself all in.

And trust that God will provide.

Nonetheless, at the end of the day, it is a job.

And I embrace the work.
