vanity, vanity, all is vanity...useless & futile

Am I building sand castles by the shore
that are being washed away by the next wave
or timeless priceless treasures in heaven
that will never fade away?

am i purchasing 5 apples
and throwing out good seeds
or planting them in good soil
and pulling out the weeds?

am i hiring a tutor and
and not listening to what he says
or seeking the Master
and choosing to listen & obey
