stick at it
It's my birthday today, so yes, I've hung one more year on the line.
And I've been sitting with the various sticks which comprise my life; picking up one, and then another, in end-of-term reflection.
And as I look, each by themselves is a rather peculiar thing, with no claims to great substance, in and of itself.
But even a child knows they are not to be viewed in this manner; held apart and alone, in the grasp of cold inspection. Rather, they are to be let go of, released, each and every one; and then set down together, nestling and snug as one stick, one life - and lit with trust.
Oooh! Its a fine birthday blaze!
I'm warming my hands, and you are most welcome to join me. Because even more important than my happiness, is yours.
