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.
