Today is disrupted
by divine intervention,
and I am without my
usual creature comforts.
Thank you, universe,
for a chance to appreciate
that which I take for granted,
which is provided for me
unfailingly every day.
Almost.
In the overall scheme of things,
it is, perhaps, these almost days
that are most valuable.
A forced change of perspective
is a welcome change of perspective.
Only a fool opposes what is.
Not that there’s anything wrong
with being a fool.
Trail Wood,

In the grand weave of existence, where every thread intertwines with countless others, creating a whimsical pattern of being and non-being, we find ourselves momentarily halted, a pause in the cosmic symphony that is life. This pause, a disruption not of chaos but of divine orchestration, brings forth a profound gratitude for the simple, the mundane, the oft-overlooked miracles that fuel our daily existence.

In the dance of light and shadow,
A pause, a breath, a moment mellow.

For the unseen hands, the machine.

The wisdom in the crown.
The universe, in its grace,
Offers us a new embrace.
To appreciate the ‘almost’ days,
In their myriad, mysterious ways.

A chance to love, to laugh, to glance

In every moment, freeing.

Across every unseen border.

Lies the wisdom we have grown.
