As is their wont, the
Pharisees grumble
at the wastefulness of
a woman;
who, in this story of
beauty and grace,
spills her precious
ointment upon Jesus' feet.
They also grumble
at the wastefulness of
the anointed one,
who, in his larger
story of grace and beauty
pours love upon the
undeserving.
Forgiveness and love,
spilled with abandon;
this is the message of
his living.
Consider this;
you who are wont to
grumble.
