REALITY
The wind has disappeared and
the water is mirror still and the
race is cancelled as we
head back to the dock ....
Peanut butter somehow gets
on the outside label of the jar ….
Coffee stains appear on the cup -
both plastic and porcelain....
We yawn. And it hurts our jaw
sometimes ….
Another surprises us with an
announcement that knocks
our socks off....
Guilt is hard to shake - sometimes
taking years - sometimes never....
Loneliness hides under chairs, beds,
especially when we’re alone - but
sometimes when we’re in the middle
of a wedding, a funeral, or a crowd....
We get cuts, hemorrhoids, the flu....
We wonder if all this God stuff is
true - or we wonder why God has
blessed us so, so much….
