“It is because Humanity has never known where it was going
that it has been able to find its way.”
Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist
______________________________________________
There are brief moments when I think I know what I am doing,
Where I am going.
But I am quickly dissuaded from this delusion
I reach for things that are no longer there
I make plans that soon dissolve
Eroded by multitudinous factors over which I have no control
Love comes and goes
Affirmation comes and goes
Success fades
Failure does to
Nothing remains stable
Remains the same
Except
The simple fact that I am a Sacred Child
And I do no walk this way alone
And each choice I make
Is not a finality but a genesis
Not a resolution
But the creation of a new and blessed incertitude
The harder I hang on to my plans,
My expectations
The more I look over my should at what has been
Or peer into the future, anxious about what will be
the more I miss out
on the Sacred gifts, that lie upon
a rapidly unfolding way
and so each day, each moment
I with empty hands
follow the ever evolving choices,
Those breadcrumbs of God
