One of my friends was reflecting on the past year, and she made a statement that church camps are worth fighting for. I immediately thought about her words as a framing device, as a question, "Is ______ worth fighting for?"
I thought of how often I don't frame my thoughts this way: my thoughts about decisions, about paths forward, about relationships, about creative pursuits, about the future. I am more often asking different questions. Am I any good at this? Does this nourish me? Am I wasting time here? How impossible is this outcome? Am I doing the right thing?
If it's a decision about a group, change the I to we. I'm thinking of larger communities too, like higher ed, like the ELCA (the more inclusive Lutheran expression of church that I have committed to), like the U.S. I'm thinking of decisions about ideas and ideals too: democracy, being a poet/artist in the world, education, and yes, summer camp.
If I think about what makes monetary sense, I may make different decisions. Those may be the right decisions, and I'm not advocating that we throw all of those practical considerations away. But those questions don't always get at a deeper importance.
If I come away having kept my bank account intact, but I've lost my soul, what/where is the profit?
It's a question as old as time, and not one unfamiliar to many of us. But I like my friend's formulation. It's worth fighting for--so it's worth continuing, worth the struggle, and worth the joy.
