“My heart rushes into the garden,
joyfully tasting all the delights.
But reason frowns, disapproving
of the heart's bad manners.”
― Rumi

A Lord
another hour
another day
another week
how Lord will I approach it?
will I tiptoe into this week
cautiously
like an old man with trifocals
negotiating steps (yes I speak from experience)
will I carefully
arrange my life
ordering my hours and my days?
will I examine
each thought, each action?
or will I roar forward
with the enthusiasm of a young child
who has just discovered
that he/she can walk
and totter wildly
and passionately forward
embracing life fully
wildly
ah yes
I might stumble
even fall
and I may leave at least of touch of disarray
in my wake
I may end up a little smudged
and smeared
but God
I believe that
slightly unruly children
make you smile!
give me the grace
this week
to live life fully
AMEN
