Do You Dare?

Why do so, so many of us

stumble and trip

through our lives,

blind and deaf,

constantly

painfully

hitting obstacles

and

each other?

Our journey would be

so much easier

if only we

dared

open our eyes

and unblock our ears.

Listen!

Don’t be one

among the deaf.

Open the ears 

of your soul.

Hear the music 

of life around you.

God’s joyful laughter

Sets the rhythm.

Listen!

And join the dance!

Perspective

You've heard that old story?
The one about the donkey
stuck, indecisive, between two bales of hay?
So simple to see the solution,
when you are not the one
slap dab in the middle
pulled in two opposite directions
at once.
