Out of the Not so Silent Planet
(on a Wednesday)
x
On the hump day
(bless the camel)
Or on any day
We might turn to God,
Which can be a matter of
Turning inside,
Somehow
We acknowledge God
That voice inside
And coming from the outside
Coming from you
Inspired or directed
Seeming
Happenstance, perhaps
We listen
We should listen
No matter if there’s sound
We also learn
Through touch or taste
Of other of the senses
Listening in time
Receiving new instructions
That might say
Stop, be here with me
A while
Then move on
Or might say
Move on, now
We stewards of the realm
Will have our orders
In this funny place
Where there is a monarch
Everyone else
A steward charged with
Variously
Caring for the realm
To move it forward
Into safety and progression
For the approval
Of the other worlds that
With our Lord
Do watch us now

Your response is powerful. You’re welcome–and thank you. I worry that I might wander around too much, profoundly speaking, when I don’t want to wander at all. So what you say is really helpful.

A gift, your words today. Thank you.
