Sometimes
we look over our lives
and wonder
if there isn’t more
We often see our days as ordinary
mundane and bogged down
in the morass of routine
We catch ourselves
staring toward the horizon
and wondering
Yes
there are seasons
when we stand
on the brink
of magnificent change
when the world
feels ready to burst open
when the dam
is straining at its seams
when we are moments away
from being swept
into a grand new tomorrow
Still
we peer into the future
and wonder if there is more
We must not lose sight of today
in our search for tomorrow
In our relentless pursuit
of the brighter horizon
we dance with the danger
of losing sight
of the treasures
folded into this moment
Embrace the hush
of beauty in small things
Hold on to the wonder
woven through daily life
Cherish the laughter
that clings to kitchen walls
Honor the rebellion
in wildflowers pushing
through cracked concrete
Inhale the scent
of rain rising
from thirsty earth
Receive the kindness
of random strangers
Bask in the love
of family
of friends
Look for more
but understand that
sometimes
more
is simply more
of the beauty of today
Hold fast
to the trueness of love
