Lighthouse

Today's anger is not

entirely about what's been

said and done today.

Today's tears do not flow

exclusively from what we have

experienced in the moment.

The river of life

has many tributaries,

and all of them

create the flow in which

we live and breathe.

Recognizing the currents

and their sources,

where to paddle and

when to float,

are the keys to not being

carried so far out to sea

that we lose sight

of the lighthouse.
