Go and sell everything you own.

We find it so hard to give anything back.

To view all our possessions as just a loan.

It’s quite easy to obey the commandments .

Except this, giving up everything .

There are just too many enchantments.

So our renouncements rarely take wing.

Perhaps the secret is not to care.

To view everything as a gift .

To avoid cupidity’s pride and snare.

And steer clear of every kind of rift.

Easy enough to say it.

Very difficult to do it.

…….

Enter the needle

Impossible for us all

Because we own things

…….

See Mark 10 : 17-27
