tranquility

we move through our days
in anxious mood and distracted attention
forgetting again that
our energies alone are not enough.

in our moving we might then notice
the moments also passing
where the spirit of god gives grace to see
things unfolding as they should.
a gift of renewed noticing from a friend.
it was the anniversary of my father's death
