A whole year has
slipped through our lives. A whole
year. A year is a good devisor of time
but too long for a human to remember.
How many sunsets did I look at, full moons, how much love did I give
away and how much was created in me. Did
I hold my wife’s hand enough, kiss my sons enough, and tell my daughter how
pretty they are enough? Did I use up my
fair share of oxygen breathing deep from hard work and joy? Did I notice all the flowers I could, did I
grieve fully for the unredeemed around me, did I say that extra kind word, and
did I touch enough shoulders, enough cheeks, and enough smooth surfaces? Did I build enough fires, make good art, linger
in bed enough, meditate and minster enough…I have very few sure memories of
2013……………………………………………………………………………………………………
But here is what I know. The sun rose 365 times, I just checked and
its just over my neighbors home, the oceans are still full, I was just there, I
got every breath of oxygen I needed, I was always filled with love for the
sharing, I had kindness in abundance and the will to keep my unworthiness at
bay. I tasted everything I wanted to,
could feel my wife every time, and could smell every rose and every glimmer of
CoCo Mademoiselle. I saw my grandbabies every
time I looked, gravity always came through, I healed every time, coffee still
smelled and tasted good, spring came, summer came, fall came and its 27 degrees
this morning. I could go on and on but
one thing is for sure, Someone loves me, seems to be enamored with my good
pleasure and me and never missed a day showing it, 365 days of Coming
Through. A whole year given to me free, given to someone who
can’t even make a nanosecond by Someone who just pulled off a year!!!
