Beginning Again

On restarting life with humility

Sometimes I am full of doubt. As if at a crossroads without clear directions.

Sometimes I panic

until I get quiet and hear…

You are not lost. You know what to do.

Go outside and see what you find.

The weather is encouragingly warm. Go!

So I walked.

First, I only saw the obvious.

Very dull.

Then…

I noticed a beauty,

in the light,

on the ground, so quiet,

so humble.

Isn’t it a good idea to be humble?
