Tonight,
You limped ahead of me.
You sensed
My exposed nerves;
Straight to my core you cut.
In your limp,
You spoke a truth of me.
The truth you speak
Is
One from which
I may not walk away.
August 1993
Truth survives the test of time. Though 18 years ago, the place, and the image are indelibly etched in my memory.
Sharing this story--walking in an elevated walkway past a mirror--serves as a reminder of lessons that I am called to learn. I am not alone.
Each of us is given lessons in our life--each day--to learn. The question? Am I--are you--willing students of our life lessons given each day?
I will reflect on our fast-paced, deadline-driven world. As a Universalist, I learned that there is good to be found in all faith traditions. As a practicing Catholic, prayerful, reflective individuals inspire me. My prayer is simple. May we live each day in awe--in wondrous awe.
Word Verification...Accessibility...
Spamming necessitates the temporary use of "captchas," which are more commonly known as "word verification." The childhood act of spamming leads me to take this action temporarily.
I am well aware, and saddened by the fact, that while captchas filter out--thwart--spammers, they also make the act of making comments impossible for individuals who use screen readers.
Be assured, I am working to rectify that situation.
