POEM: God’s Tell

's Tell

Is it just
Another day
Like any other

Who could tell?
And there I was

When it came to pass
winked at me
I timidly wavered back
Yet setting off
A sparkle in my eye
Leaving me feeling

Balancing our focus on the rather than simply the destination, may very well help us get there, and certainly offers a more pleasant option in enduring the many ups and downs in movements. Who knows, perhaps one of the main destinations, arrival points, is simply being with those around us on the .

More simply, this poem can be a serendipitous moment where we feel and are caught off-guard in the best of ways. May such moments be catchy!
