I Pray The Road Will Teach Us

with dusty turns and nearly

impossible steepness

that grace isn’t a calendar item

with some kind of timeline agenda.

Make your life about blessing 

other travelers

  beside you,

behind you,

before you.

Let your presence be

like trail magic---freely discovered

along the way, so that it nourishes

without expectation.

Wait and see what brightness

finally happens when you find out

that your life can generate

something more than rushing.
