Photo Augmentation
It was “photo augmentation” which arose from grouping task,
As I tweaked NVivo headings for the nodes and questions asked;
Is there’s not a better grouping than from German cynic’s brain,
For the type of photo makers, since our digi-era came?So I shifted and I tweaked each one to give a better view,
Looking at the insights which he had, while building something new;
Then “professional” and “minister” emerged for what I do,
And descriptor “augmentation” spring to life – much clearer too.Then I saw it – I’m a minister of apostolic type,
Not “Apostle” (though of course it’s true) (sub-category’s right);
When I quit-unquit in Sandy, it’s the job I did up there,
With a chance to build “whatever” – with my actions I declared –“I’m a Spirit-Walker in my life, do this and that for Him;
I’ve accepted His suggestion not to leave the place I’m in;
Did assorted tasks for three more years and had a grand old time,
And I teased out my apostleship – a way of life that’s mine.I never left that ministry, though never fitted in,
The pastorate was much too small for work I would begin;
So I set out on questing time to find what we had missed,
And thrashed around until I found the piece with added twist.It’s only now I see it all and shake my head with scorn,
At how I could have been so blind, as if I’d just been born;
But what the heck, the job got done, and now my way’s made clear,
At least I know what it’s about as I move on from here –Five kinds of ministers there are, not one, or two, or three,
I am a focused type I know, that type which I can see;
I live it out, and let folks watch and copy what I do;
Perhaps before my time is up, it will make sense to you.I am a border-crossing type with salt, and leaven, light;
I enter other cultures helping make their pathways bright;
For darkness even in some parts means stumble or a fall,
So hey – ‘flip on the switch my friend’ – that’s what to him I call.navigation
