DETAILS

 

Some say, “God is in the details.”

Others say, “The devil is in the details.”

Whatever! Life is loaded with details.

Batteries for flashlights – car keys –

knives and forks – ball point pens –

and a zillion other little things – that

surround us – pillows and blankets –

and that phone call we have to make

in the morning. Make a list. Don’t forget

to do the dishes and get some milk

on the way home from work. Don’t forget.

Are some people better with details than

others.  Guess so because details are

not my thing and others make up for

my sloppiness and imperfections. Sorry….

THE  CANE

 

They told me to get a cane.

They said, “It will be good for your safety.”

Evidently, they thought about me

doing that for a while now.

I began thinking about it

for the past few days.

Lots of thoughts:

I’ll be carrying not just me now –

but a wagonful of thoughts about aging –

what it means to see someone with a cane.

Well, I’m not a crutch. I’m a cane. I’m a help.

I hope I’ll be good at this.

THE  CANE

 

They told me to get a cane.

“It will be good for your safety.”

Evidently, they thought about me doing that

for a while now.

I began thinking about it for the past few days.

I’ll be carrying not just me now – but a handful of thoughts

about aging – about inability - what it means to see someone with a cane.

Well, I’m not a crutch. I’m a cane. I’m a help.

I hope I’ll be good at this.

CREDO

 

Before you go any further –

sit down and write down –

write out – your beliefs.

Like: “I believe you can

never fail with kindness.”

Only after that -  take the

Church’s creed – and look

at each belief one by one.

Then put a “U” under them

or above them – if you get

what that belief is about.

Put a “M” under or above a

belief you think you misunderstand.

Then – next time – you say

The creed – notice the difference,
