You sure were in the moment Monday when that opossum Was laying on the garbage in Your trash-day trash can, quite An inconvenience when you're Trying not to be late for work.
On Tuesday, you had a lot of Questions for me when, on Your commute, you saw that Fawn lifeless on the side of the road.
Why is it that these moments Make you present to me? You come with doubting questions, Ready to put me on trial When every day I send you Gifts of love even more Real than the sting of death:
Did you notice the squirrel Rushing back to her tree with An apple the size of her head? Could you see her there feeding Her kits - born blind so they Might learn to trust their maker?
Which reminds me, did you notice The geese that flew over your head While you were riding bicycles With your wife? Were you listening Carefully enough to translate their Honking conversation? I remember They were considering where they Might stop to rest for the night. After all, it is a long journey to their Snowbird mansion - Hole number Seven at Pinetree Country Club.
Are you present enough to notice All the beauty, all the glory I've Squeezed inside your every day life? Open your eyes for a moment, Unlock your ears and listen. I promise you'll see the Facets of who I really am.
