Life is about little things

I like to think about problems,
questions flow through my mind,
about suffering and joy
and life and death,
sometimes even my own ending
whenever that will come.

Still, it is really about little things
our lives that speed by so fast,
a cup of coffee in the morning,
or a drink of water when very thirsty,
meals with friends,
our families,
and walks alone under the moon,
or in the rain
and when no one is looking
running and splashing like a child.

We have deep inner lives,
sometimes haunted by the past,
as well as thoughts deep and lovely,
memories both hard and soft,
and wounds that need healing,
for they can itch and hurt,

Then as the years go by,
little by little,
we learn to let go and accept change,
bodies stiff and more pain no doubt,
yet if the hearts true meaning sought
there is a joy that was not there before.

A peace of a more quiet nature and peaceful,
that if rooted in our true nature
will weather all of life's storms.

We learn to see others and love them,
beyond their foibles and weaknesses
to something deeper that can come through
if we stay in touch with the little things.

Our deepest longing is to be seen and loved,
also perhaps for many their greatest fear,
pulling the soul this way and that
until hopefully, humility gained
and we seek truly what the heart most desires.

Christ Jesus, God’s love made flesh,
that can touch our hearts true longing
and without fear, we can open up
to what was always there,
our soul’s nakedness
before God’s infinite unconditional loving gaze.
