July 30, 2024 – A

I took this photograph 24 years ago this September.
I have more of a hitch in my stride now,
and less incentive to get up for an early drive to Lake Louise.
Or for a flight to Calgary and a rental car to Banff.
This scene has fared better than I have.
All things in their own time.

Knowing what it's time for here, now,
is always an art and a grace.
I leave it up to my intuition,
and do what I'm told--
which is all the advice
anyone ever needs to hear.
I trust you are "picking up
what I'm laying down here."

Our intuition knows,
and is our closest
connection with what has always
been called "God,"
and is "God," for that matter.

Certainly, "God's" way 
of calling us to action
throughout each day.

"Right there" for those to consult,
who have put their will, wants, 
wishes and desires aside,
to listen for what is called for,
here, now,
in each situation as it arises
around the clock,
year by year.

It only takes paying attention
to know that it is so.
