Lot’s Wife Must Never Look Back; We Must Never Look Down
It’s almost impossible to tell
the difference between
self-effacement and self-abasement
In the former
he stays down to earth
to rise above the ego
while in the latter
he puts himself down
to remain above criticism
The tell comes
in mid-air
when one remembers
what everyone said–
“Don’t look down”-
while the other
looks down on everyone
