Catching up.

Blogging is an interesting thing. Most of them start off strong then fade away. I began sharing my verses at a coache's suggestion. I'm still doing it based on that commitment -- even though my audience is few -- the most faithful being my daughter -- thank you Heidi.

I've been on the road for 5 days and haven't made an entry. The poetry spout seems a little dry right now. So here is one I did when frustrated over the difficulty I was finding to get myself to do some of the things that needed to be done. Anyone else relate to that!

Oh my precious God
Why is it so hard
To do the little tasks
Before me

In themselves a breeze
Why push they to my knees
I need a different way
To frame them

Today I’m faced with two
Same story much adieu
Just do it now
Be done

Funny how the mind
Can many things entwine
Make easy things
A story

Back to that idea
We really must adhere
To who we are – be clear
To walk in greatest cheer

Traveling this week --

Much to do to get ready. I'll bet I'm not the only one who can relate to this.

Time to be quiet
To listen today
To push back the frenzy
Hold the list at bay

The mind says get busy
There is much to be done
The heart knows communion
Will keep you at one

At one with the universe
At one with your heart
At one with creation
Knowing your part

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.
