I love this poem.

"The worst thing we ever did
was put God in the sky
out of reach
pulling the divinity
from the leaf,
sifting out the holy from our bones,
insisting God isn’t bursting dazzlement
through everything we’ve made
a hard commitment to see as ordinary,
stripping the sacred from everywhere
to put in a cloud man elsewhere,
prying closeness from your heart.
The worst thing we ever did
was take the dance and the song
out of prayer
made it sit up straight
and cross its legs
removed it of rejoicing
wiped clean its hip sway,
its questions,
its ecstatic yowl,
its tears.
The worst thing we ever did is pretend
God isn’t the easiest thing
in this Universe
available to every soul
in every breath"
Chelan Harkin
From her poetry book 'Susceptible to Light'

He was sifting through the boxes and was so obsessed with them because

he wanted to see which documents among them would bring the most money....

Here's what could win us a lot of rural votes:

The WH announces an initiative to work with vehicle manufacturers to make sure electric pickups have the towing capacity needed for work on the farm. As it is now, batteries are quickly drained with not even much hauling.

It's a real concern among farmers and ranchers who depend upon their pickups. If an electric truck can't meet their needs, and they have to keep relying on gas powered vehicles (which will become more and more expensive to operate with fewer and fewer people using gas) then food production costs will soar, and so will food costs in the grocery stores.

Farmers and ranchers would feel that someone has their backs if such a program were announced and promoted.

I live in rural America; I'm a farm owner; I know what I'm talking about here....
