Divine Detour Along an Irregular Trail
The Detour Leads Where?! |
A short post from the Wild Gray Goose?
Well, not zackly. Meditating over this beach sunrise IN the Wild Gray Goose (the name we lettered on to our travel trailer), I read my January then my March posts. They were too good to let slip on to the past post right margin. A read, smile, teared. You see, my trail has been irregular and irregularly wonderful. It's all a gift from a God gracious beyond comprehension. Then the detour. Such requires re-thinking, re-planning, but mostly re-committing to the Wild Goose I follow no matter the trail, speed bumps, or detour He guides me past. Yes, "past."
I think I was taking for granted the laziness of my formerly passive prostate cancer. When I sent the Provenge special forces to the battle, the pc enemy screamed, "GAME ON!!" Seems there are now outposts in multiple locations in my skeletal and lymph structures. I start chemo in five days. Yuk!
SO, it may just be that my contribution to man/woman kind, especially my faith-framed brothers and sisters, is that I aquit well my Finish Well leg of The Race. Thus, I offer you five minutes, perhaps more, of reflection by directing you to the January and March posts. Poetic but centered, these captured my state of being along the trail. Turns out that race is neither a dash nor a marathon, but a cross-country run over obstacles and even detours.
I Starbucked a post at Gendads while awaiting my visit to the oncologist. Thoughts for you when you are caught between learning What Is and knowing I AM is in utter control.
