Pacman vs Money = Faith vs Mammon

Manny Pacquiao will fight on faith.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. on money.
That is the sub-plot of this mega-clash of the dying art-form of pure, thoroughbred prize-fighting.
Given that at this level it is about thoroughbreds, their pedigree is only quotable when they are in the ring.
Mayweather outside the ring is Money.
Pacman outside the ring is a Believer.
Politician, singer, basketball player are all second to his new God-foundedness.
This is why this boxing match is more than just claim for title of best pound-for-pound fighter since Mike Tyson.
It is Faith vs Mammon.
Let the fight begin!

What now?

What now, of words that won’t come?
Guilt, shame, condemnation washed clean in the flood of grace; All ideation and creative inspiration washed away as well.
Ctrl, Alt Dlt – hard-drive cleaned out.
What of that desire to move the world to joy… or pain?
Close my eyes. Breathe deeply.
Cut wood, fill water.
Do the work. Write for discipline.
Believe. It will come.
If it doesn’t, rest in the grace.
Maybe, the words are all gone.
Maybe, it simply is a time to listen. To listen now, forever.
Maybe, the best of what I had to say is said.
