journey.

Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
and a light unto my path.
- Psalm 119:105

the first leg.

easy. I know where I'm headed -
it's right in front of Me. how
could I possibly miss it? I mean,
what's so hard about it? My Goal
stands right before My Eyes. of course
sometimes I don't know, but today
I ask: how could anything go
wrong on a day like this?

the second leg.

i've made a huge mistake.
where did i go wrong?
did i take my eyes off the goal,
or did i suddenly lose heart?
did i forget the way, or
did i ever really know it?
i'm lost, stuck in the middle
of the dark, afraid i've become
a vacuum of grace. and now i'm cold.
i'm tired. i'm confused. i'm a lot of things.
more than anything, though,
i'm pissed off, and i wonder if
i will ever be found again.

yet You call to me. softly,
at first, and then more softly.
You, the gentle Guide, remind me:
one step at a time, child,
one step at a time.
