Perspective, Prayer, and Peace

Perspective

©2003 by Susan Noyes Anderson

In life, there is a symmetry––

a balance that bespeaks a plan,

and he who treads a humble path

will find in him a peaceful man.

Look up; the leaves adorn the trees,

then fall to earth beneath your feet.

Look down; each stone could grace a pillar

or be crushed into concrete.

True harmony is always found

within the singing of a song.

The road will show you where it leads,

and if the way is short or long.

Thanks for helping me keep my perspective yesterday with all your good thoughts and wishes. Despite some crazy weather, my son did indeed make it to Washington DC and is interviewing even as we "speak." Today, I feel much more peaceful.

Letting go is always a good thing and, for me, prayer makes that possible. Remembering that I am not in charge, and that I don't need to be, allows me to sing life's song with a lot more joy.

And a lot less jitteriness, too!
