Today’s word is “inculcate” … to implant by repeated statement or admonition; teach persistently and earnestly. (Dictionary.com)
Story
Once upon a time,
There was a place of perfection.
A place where humans walked
With God.
He, like all good parents tried
To inculcate goodness into his children.
They, like all children, wanted to go
Their own way. And they did.
They made their own decisions. Many times.
Over and over. For years. Decades.
Centuries.
And yet, things did not work out.
Towers rose and fell and rose again.
It seemed and seems as if, as if,
They, we, can not get it right.
As if, without God, we are doomed
To our own circular failures.
We still have decisions to make.
Perhaps we should ask for help.
