What focus for my time

Today, my coach kept bringing me back to "what is the most important issue (to be dealt with)." He suggested I mind map all the things going on in my life and interes, and look for a thread or an axel that tied it all together. It is interesting that I had done that listing last month. When I did, it presented itself as the following.

The Myriad of Things

Lord I come to you
King of all the earth
Make request of you
For wisdom on this earth

The myriad of things
A part of daily life
Pile up around
Suppressing peace and light

Yet deep inside I know
The plan you have is so
Complete and with a flow
That peace does overflow

Some have a natural way
To negotiate each day
And not be overcome
By the things that need be done

But they are very few
In this world of do and do
While the rest of us are blue
Beset with much to do

Where does the answer lie
Is it community or die
Find the place where each one fits
Determined by our gifts

It can’t be done by man
Must be the unseen hand
Where many move as one
And myriad gets done.
