the preacher did the dumbest thing ever
especially on Easter
he took the Scripture seriously
when it suggested a lack of efficiency
a holy aimlessness
he stopped talking
the congregation wandered around outside
exposed to all manner of insights and inspirations
bountiful dangers and pitfalls
after church, he went home
sat around, utterly without direction
watching his children do things
dinner was undertaken with zero regard to timeframe
cooked over fire
done when it was finished
while it cooked
he carefully observed his children
as they dyed hard-boiled eggs
after dinner, he did the dishes
then sat on the couch
rubbing the feet of his overtired wife
until she fell asleep
