As I turn the key in the ignition
I am confronted with it,
like a mirror reflecting back to me.
I am left with the roar of the engine,
and the exhaust of my humanity.
As I pull the car door shut
I recognize that the moment has passed.
I’ve rushed, pushed, and now all I can hope is
that mercy and grace open the window to remediate.
Each moment offers me the chance to see more clearly,
mindfully aware that it is from my missed steps that I
find balance,
from my mistakes that I learn,
and from the struggle to be better next time, that I
grow.
I glimpse in the rear view and its all clear to see,
in the car behind me is all that means everything,
I can let the rest just be.
