November 22, 2023 – A

The circumstances we have to work with
are just what they are.
What we do with them,
in response to them
is all that matters.

We have Donald Trump and his mindless masses
to deal with.
It is no worse than what Jesus
had to deal with.
Or John the Baptist.
Or Mother Teresa.
Or any of the Saints In Light.

We, like they did, get up each day
and do what is called for therein,
and let that be that
because tomorrow is coming,
and we have to let
"Each day's own trouble 
be sufficient for the day,"
in doing what needs to be done there,
day after day.

We can't bother about what our chances are,
or what good we are doing,
or whether it matters or not.

It is not our place to worry about such things.
Our place is to see what's what here and now
and to do what needs to be done about it
and let that be that
because another moment is already upon us
and we have to do it again, 
then and there,
which needs what we have to offer again,
here, now.

As it has always been done
by those who have gone before us,
and as it will be done
by those who come after us.

So, we step into what faces us
and give it our best.

Every day.
For as long as there are days.
As children of light
in the darkness that cradles us
and invites us to shine, boldly shine,
no matter what.
