Materialism > Consumerism.
Dutch cast iron frypan in the free bin at hospice op shop…. Best thrifted score to date. I also keep an eye out for NZ wool anything.

Life’s irony’s the view we benefit
from physical, material delight
as though naught counts but what’s felt or in sight
while ignored our souls are desperate
for what should count the most—the infinite;
yet we’ll go on till it’s too late, despite
much instinct in us of what’s truly right
that life’s content is so inadequate.
.
Regardless, to that same life we cling tight
since the physical solely seems definite
thus for material matters we fight
—like the blind-mind addict’s barbiturate—
while Great Hereafter’s placed post-the-finite
so skewed are values foremost we’ll permit.
Now I want that wooden coffee filter holder - something I didn't know existed 10 minutes ago...
