Her vision widens a bit
this time
as she enters her day
in the same old way.
Perhaps something new will dawn.
His heart dares to stretch
and open a bit wider.
A new kind of surrender
peeks through the song of pain
on constant rewind.
Life itself can open us
to what is real and true,
if allowed.
We discover this
when we trust enough
to peek
from under the many covers
we have pulled over our head.
With each new glimpse,
we allow the Creator
to fashion us more artfully
beyond the many ways
we have allowed our clay
to harden.
Soften or harden?
Open or close?
Yield or tighten the grip?
Ignore or listen?
These are the daily choices
in finding the path
to Grace.
Pay attention.
