Morning Greeting to God On waking I say (thinking, really) “You’ve been here all night. You’ll be here all the day, Providing time, my needs, And more abstractly, destiny. The trick is to be welcoming, A trick that makes the play of pain More comfortable, For comfort is so comforting. When I say pain, I do not mean A shoulder ache or thereabouts. It means the pain of all around, An ‘all around’ that’s all unbound Which one will never have the skill to grasp, Or power to reshape. The day’s blank piece of paper, Bland or stimulating, Filled with action or quite still – Always etude and apprenticeship. So I ask myself (symbolically) What can I learn? With no idea of what’s to come, Anticipating nothing I accept each crumb that falls from Shall we call it ‘heaven’s table’ (just a metaphor.) Heaven’s table may be fable, Morning’s greeting, fleeting phrase; Both are ways to start the days With positivity, an energy To improvise with happy creativity. What could be better?
