Distance

The farther who you are

is from who you want to be,

the more intolerable

your life will seem.

   Inability to recognize life

   as a sojourner sport

   is a misery escalator.

      Peace is found in appreciating

      who you are in the moment

      while longing to be more of who

      you were created to be tomorrow.

         Let go of yesterday;

         pay close attention

         to the beauty of this day

         held in your open palm;

         dream about tomorrow

         as you sleep tonight.
