2

When you’ve meticulously calculated all possibilities
to eliminate every worst case scenario and
life still takes you in the other direction;
When your past lays claim to your present and futur
and your eyes are captivated by the rear-view mirror;
When the seeds of bitterness germinate
like invasive species from another kingdom;
and you look in the mirror but
don’t recognize the face anymore.
May the call to your destiny wake up in you;
May your limitations humble your heart but do not crush your spirit;
May faith grow in you to live in the tension of the already and not yet;
and in disorientation may the wall come down around you
and you will cease to do this alone.
May you be in awe by the miracle that you are
still being breathed by this breath of Life today.
