The "Good" + "Not So Good"

My view of a banking institution wasn't wasted on my dear friend Anna. The "good" dwelling in what sometimes seems unlikely corners, and the "not so good" as well. Intertwined and seemingly tangled up together. I find that is so in my own struggle with the spiritual and material. What I yearn for and think I need, with my desire for more of whatever it is that I think I want in the moment. Especially when I don't have cash. When I was first learning to read, I sat on my grandfather's lap and read from the back of a dollar bill, "In God We Trust". How I wish sometimes that I could separate the seemingly two different worlds that I find myself wanting to divide, knowing that it is really about the relationship of both. Allowing the "good" to reveal itself in the "not so good", and allowing space for "the not so good" in what is "good".
