Heart and Grit

Whiplash

In These Times

3 Dec

Wild wet winds buffet your sails,

Dousing your midship in icy displeasure,

Exhilarating freshness, but with a bite.

You trim back your mainsail and hoist up the jib,

Flexing your courage muscle,

Battening down for heavy weather.

Whiplash …

You were made for these times.

Sometimes you feel like a motherless child,

Adrift in a sea of perplexity, without compass or rudder.

Plunged into abyss – then hoisted up topside,

Back and forth, up-down, all around.

Whiplash …

Reaching out for a steady hand,

Just trying to make your way home.

“Your life has been a mad gamble. Make it more so.”

Rumi

God trusted you enough to put a life into your hands,

You were made for these times.

You pick up your flute and you make a joyful noise,

Your Spirit song,

So mighty and so true that it silences the winds,

Halts the hours,

Quiets all storms.

A human being, now soul streaming

The inner balance in all things.

You were made for these times.
