In the Hole

"The soul grows by subtraction, not addition." - Thoreau

My soul is like a bank account.

Life makes deposits and withdrawals.

Everything must be accounted for.

Sometimes its full, so I take a plunge and extend myself.

Other times its overdrawn, so I gird up my loins.

It must be disciplined and balanced,

or I risk having it closed due to insufficient funds.

If it is closed, I still owe the bank the amount for which I am  ...

... in the hole ...

Author's Note

"With all your science can you tell how it is, and whence it is, that light comes into the soul?" - Thoreau
