.....and i had plans

….and I had plans.

I thought I’d put a load in the washer,

So I could have clean towels, someday.

But I saw holiness alive in that place

And had to create a sacred delay.

For scriptures really are no use

To one who sees

The Lord’s face everywhere.

Just as washers are superfluous

To One with no need of towels.

And I find I have no need

No lack, no want of anything.

For I am full of Love, Today,

And Peace,

And Fire,

And everything Good.

I am free from every result,

And do what I do from the Love that I feel

Coursing through what’s left of me—

The Love of Life,

The Love of You.
