Decisions
Life is filled with them,
some would say consumed by them.
Sometimes simple,
What restaurant will we choose?
Which shirt looks best?
Trivial for many in the scheme of life.
For others,
the next meal becomes a survival choice.
Or, will this clothing protect me from the elements?
Many live in a bubble
concerned with only self,
ethnocentric to the core.
Perhaps someday
humankind will understand
that we are all in this together.
At least the core of the major religions
appear to say that.
Comments: None needed.

Wonder
In the airport
do you ever sit
and wonder?
A young woman
dressed to the nines,
what does she do?
How did that couple meet?
They are as different
as night and day.
There, that scruffy young man,
where does he work?
All these surface attributes
only hint about
who the person is.
More than once
I have misjudged.
Perhaps the old wisdom,
“Judge not lest thou be judged.”
remains a valuable rule
to live by.
Comments: I love to observe people. However, it often turns into judging. I become frustrated with myself because I this. This trait is not a friend to my faith.. All I can do is keep trying.
