Lead, Kindly Light

Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; One step enough for me.

Now.

Daring to peer into the glazed and rippled reflection pool of the foreseeable future, everything feels so uncertain.

Still walking on that long and creaky, unstable bridge between the two very different worlds of “young adulthood” and “real adulthood.”  Not fearing a fall from the bridge so much as worrying that when my feet reach the other side, they will unprepared for what they find.  Simply not being ready:  financially, mentally, emotionally.

Looking up to heaven, gazing into the sky that has changed its wardrobe every day as long as this earth has turned.  Pleading with God.

I’m still asking:God are you there?
Answer:silent!

That’s beautiful. The posture of supplication and utter dependence–an uncomfortable tension, or the epitome of our relationship with God? I say both!

George – God speaks in silence, if you can silence yourself to hear.

Love the last word “gazing into the sky that has changed its wardrobe every day as long as this earth has turned”, it reminds me of day pass very fast. We should appreciate everyday and live in full.

This would make a really good poem. It causes me to think about what I am reading very intently.
