Saturday, Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time, 2021

Show the light of your truth to those who go astray.
So that they may return to the right path.
We pray that our fears we can keep at bay.
That we will not be ensnared by guilt or wrath.

Today I woke feeling dizzy, the world turning.
It was as if I had just landed from a rocky boat.
We assume our ordered world will just keep happening.
But the only constant is change, we are not surrounded by a moat.

The right path is not a straight motorway.
It twists and turns and is shrouded in mist.
We wonder all the time if we can or we may.
We ask, should we accept or should we resist.

Forget the dizziness, just stand and walk.
It is only up to us, forget the others’ talk.

Haiku

Just stand up and walk
Forget the mind’s dizziness
It is up to us
