Today will offer a menu of the mundane
and the marvelous. I will peruse the
possibilities without license to choose.
Life will determine the day’s agenda,
not my calendar. The unexpected phone
call, a surprise knock on the door, emails
and texts and tweets set in motion the
acrobatics of juggling alternatives. Cracks
in the day swallow what seemed important,
even urgent.
As the day unfolds, may I not lose sight
of the Source that gives me the courage
to cope and to continue. At the end of the day,
may I look back on moments that challenged
my values, tested my concern for others, and
offered me opportunities to speak truth to
deception or deceit. May I count the unforeseen
moments as valuable nourishment for the growth
of my soul.
The unforeseen makes for an exciting day and test my flexibility.
Agree!
