GOOD THINGS, GOD'S THINGS

GOOD THINGS, GOD’S THING

It started at breakfast with coffee
followed by lunch at the club
then an evening martini.
Interspersed were
texting, tweeting and Skype.

With a little help I got through the day.

            And God saw that her creation was good.

My friends at the abbey
take a monks’ sort of pride,
like John with his locusts and honey,
at how little they need
to live life
inside.

            The warrior’s horse cannot save.
                    Ps. 33 (32)

Creation was good . . .
for all, . . . , for all time.
Do I trust my sense of what would be good
for just me, . . . , right now?

            Unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in
             vain.  
                    Ps. 127 (126)

Parts of my life distract me;
others draw me closer to God
and to others.

The God-in-me may be needed to deal, . . . ,
She has not been called out for awhile.
Can I convince her I am serious about seeking
Her “there”
and the least obstructed distance
from here?
