Thursday, 21st Week in Ordinary Time, 2020

Stay awake.
Because you do not know when your master is coming.
Can we be happy now and control that worrying nagging ache.
Steady down, cease the rushing.

I look at the night sky, are we are in the grip of a vast machine, a piece of passing dust.
Perhaps we should not worry if paradise or oblivion awaits .
But as I sat watching the Bruderhof community and their simple trust.
Their message, do not wait, practice what Christ teaches, it is his will that dictates.

It’s strange how new insights come, dreams can be kind.
It’s really to commit to live his life.
I do not have their commitment but I can attempt it in the private recesses of the mind.
Perhaps for a moment there is an end of mindless self obsessed ego strife.

So I will try not to worry what awaits in future.
And try to live for just this day with a spot of self aware humour.
