For all the times you’ve grabbed the brass ring and it released a trap door beneath you…
For the multitude of days you’ve dragged yourself to the bathroom vanity and stared into the mirror wondering who abducted the virile young stallion who used to stare back…
For those of you who bear the scars of escaping the rat race just as the mousetrap nipped your heel…
For anyone who ever caught themselves perusing the obituaries in the local newspaper, first for relatives and friends, then acquaintances and finally to see if your own name lay under the high school graduation picture that you always hated…
For everyone who has endured:
Fellow commuters bent on passing without actually changing lanes…
Fellow workers apologizing for the cup of coffee that drips from the report you finally finished at 3a.m. this morning…
Fellow diners who felt it their personal duty to take every possible meat option from the buffet except the liver…
Fellow believers who have no answers for their own life, but a litany for yours…
All I can tell you is…
My headphones are on and I am listening to music that reminds me I’m His…
My youngest is dancing her own special ballet in the kitchen…
My oldest princess smiles and sings a song that only she knows the soundtrack to…
My wife and son are having a conversation on the couch…
My dog sleeps in the corner on his favorite blue pillow…
I hear none of it…
I see all of it…
I forget for a moment the events of the day …
I take a snapshot and tuck it away in my heart…
I will need it someday to remind me…
The cost is minimal in light of the return…
The light is sometimes under a bushel but it is never really hidden…
The volume of life is sometimes loud…
The song of peace plays softly in the background…
Always…
