I won't even begin to question the roots or meanings of poverty, although I do wonder about both.
What I do wonder about it poverty of the spirit.
Matt's parents would say (I imagine) that without Jesus, a person is spiritually poor. Others might say the same of those who don't recognize great art. Am I poorer in my daily actions because I feel I've glimpsed true beauty and the divine, but don't live in such a way that always honors that?
Or are the truly impoverished those without the opportunity to even question such things?
