Finding a Calling

Updated: Apr 11

When some people look to the

Skies

They see blue and red letters that spell

Out the way their lives must

Go

I have wondered and marveled at the

Readings and writings that these

Friends have described

As if there was a right way to

Notice the signs and wonders

This universe had to offer


Where is that small quiet voice?

Buses and trucks roar around

Me as I weave down the highway

And contemplate all those callings

That I left behind


Did I miss a boat that has sailed

To a far distant land?

Will there be clear signs from God

As to the right and left that I should

Choose?


Gideon said he needed a wet blanket.

David needed Nathaniel to right his wrongs.

Even Abraham looked to left of the promis he was given.


Do I have faith to understand and accept the

Journey that is laid before me?


The writings in the sky have faded to greys and greens

I can no longer read them without

The help of rose colored glasses

And I breathe

Taking in the wonder that it is to be alive

On this marvelous creation

For it is marvelous, isn't it?


Every sloping plain and mossy bend in the river

Signals that maybe the

Journey really is better than

The destination

That the wandering with God is

Better than striving without Him


I speak to the lovely tones found in the rose buds

Outside my front door

They laugh with me as the blue sun reminds us

That when the going gets tough

It is okay to cry

To weep with the broken hearted

And to sit quietly by

Still waters until the sun

Will rise again


Wake up

You tell me

Each morning

Though I would rather dream

Away a life that seems more

Majestic than the life that the

Highway roses and blue skies

Have to offer


For I know it is better to breathe

Better to try

Better to be still

Than worship a fabricated form

Of my own identity


Be still

You say

As the sun rises solfly upon

My bustling neighborhood

As I reach and stretch to

Make my way to wash my face

In the morning hour
