The day has a mind of its own.
As does our life.
We wait to see what comes
and what we do with it,
and that tells the tale.
We get up,
get dressed,
open the door,
and the day,
our life,
takes it from there.
With a bevy of things
we would never have guessed.
Our place is to respond appropriately
to each thing that comes along,
and see where that takes us
and what we do about it
all the way to bed tonight,
and back at it again tomorrow.
No plans,
no agendas,
no knowing what's next
or caring,
just seeking the flow
and seeing what's called for,
understanding that the path
is revealed in hindsight,
and no one knows before hand
what is being staged
or how it will all merge together,
disparate parts
producing a whole
that is our life
one day at a time.
Epiphany!
Revelation!
Realization!
Enlightenment!
Surprise!
Waiting for us to get out of bed.
