Slow down the pace of
This busy and frenetic life
Float on the waters of grace
With time that is free from all strife
.
Practice the art of just ceasing
Give honor and value to time
Ponder the minutes and hours
Value moments to write and to rhyme
.
Writing is not akin to working
It’s not a task, not for me
I rest in sweet Otim Sanctum:
Holy Leisure and divine creativity
.
You can turn up the secular pace of
Negotium: those non-leisure hours
But let sacred rhythm enchant you
And drench you in replenishing showers

Thanks very much, Jan. You will soon know it hasn’t been a good day
I’m sorry to know that… but I find the not so good days really are designed to help me appreciate more the better ones. Thank God for tomorrow! (Obviously I wrote this comment before I knew the extent of your “not so good.”) It will be many, many tomorrows before this hole in your hert and life can start to heal. I am soooo sorry, Derrick!
