Do
I catch the wave today?
Do
I stand, ankle-deep, in conversations, discerning the best moment to speak?
Do
I sleep until it is time to awaken, and then rise to the graceful rhythm?
Do
I absorb information, examine it, synthesize it, and then at just the right juncture
form a conclusion?
Do
I dwell in sounds of the day—radio, internet, television, phone—and understand at
which hour it is best to invite silence?
Do
I savor the words and ideas of others and then add to them, at the crest of
thought, my own words and ideas?
Do
I know when to drink, and stop drinking? When to eat and stop eating?
Do
I walk until it is time to sit down? Do I work until it is time to cease
working?
Do
I offer embrace when it is time, careful to measure the weight of need, the
moment of asking?
Do
I recognize when it is time to be brave and when it is better to hold back?
Do
I utter my desires to God? Do I wait for God’s desires to make themselves known
to me?
Will
I catch the wave today—the moment before the swell, or the moment after its
breaking?
