Psalm 206 – Discovering the golden thread

March 21, 2016 by Chris Gribble

The days rushing by in short hours,
With a relentless pace of things to be done,
With barely time to think of grander things,
The golden thread lost in the maddened din,
The constant noise and lists and screens.
What should be remembered is quickly forgot.

Today I slowed my world’s activity,
Achieving reduced to one kind act,
That will set the whole world right,
Despite my life’s efforts to hurry on,
I paused to weave a thread of hope,
That draws to me to know I belong.

The golden thread weaves through my life,
Bringing together desire and reality,
Binding that tragic gap of unknown,
To bring me to a clearer certainty,
Of accepting what is here and now,
And, then to know what is certain to come.

Today I am going to start …

Today I am going to start living
As only I can live,
I am going to walk in the bush
Listen lovingly to friends,
Take time to hear the birds sing
Love my wife
Be present for my children,
And, wonder at this precious gift
Of life and dreams and time,
Just today, is all I have,
Today I am going to live.
