Which?

Looking at your calendar,
you may imagine that you
don't have time to pray;

that you've got too many
things to do, places to be,
and people to see.

You may even believe
that you're "prayed up"
with a surplus of
divine-human conversation
at the spiritual level.

Or that you'll set aside
some quiet time later
to seek a merging
with God-frequency.

Here's the face-smacked
truth of it: you're more likely
too confident; resting assured
that your own plans,

holy-infused as they may be
and feel, are the equivalent
of God-entered GPS mapping.

I dare to make this accusation
only because I know, all too well,
this wilderness wandering,
with its milk and honey overlay.

Turn around, don't plow ahead
through these deceptive deeps.
Better yet, stop, drop, and breathe.
