The day missing
It is not given us to like everyone we chance upon on our life ways;
It is not given us to come to meeting with each one with whom we converse;
Nor to find soul flitting every instance of meeting.
What is given?
Maybe only a task—
A task of intention
& effort—
To be kind
To accept
To extend the lyrical into every day
To receive with some level of thanks the gravelly voice, the clanking gear, the day missing our course for it.
