It is
divine love that both steadies us
and
remains steadfastly with us
along
life’s unpredictable journey.
The
purveyors of perfection
want us
to believe two things:
[1] Life
is geometry, ergo
the
acceptable distance
between
two points is a straight line.
[2] The
“right” product will assist you
in
navigating this straight line, lickety split.
Peace and
contentment will evade you
until you
accept the deeper reality
that a
meaningful life meanders
all over
the page, leaving a wobbly trail
of
forth-and-back tracks that could never
pass
perfection’s sobriety test.
It’s a
dance that is made-up for us
as we go,
ever-drawing us
toward
hope as we balk, stumble,
and even
backtrack our way
through
life’s labyrinth.
