Winter 2026 - Quarterly Inspiration & Question of the Quarter

Quarterly Inspiration: “True Wealth” a poetry excerpt from Lee’s book, On the Back Burner

“TRUE WEALTH"

What would you tell me if I asked you to say What wealth means to you? A request, if I may: To talk about money is easy to do— As the center of culture, it’s what we pursue. Our hearts may not mean it, but time after time, It’s how we are measured—the ladders we climb. Life spent with others! More than one may contend, “Nothing much matters, but family and friends.” They will always be with you, through the thick and the thin, To support you when you’re losing and cheer when you win. Maybe we’re searching for more than this story. A spiritual quest, bound by faith, hope, and glory? They say the hereafter is what we’re all for— “You can’t take it with you” is what they implore. True Wealth, such a question, on the surface, so clear. But it’s more than a slogan of what we hold dear. I think to define wealth, for life’s truest sake: It’s what we can’t buy ... and death cannot take.
