Maybe Today
I ran over a earthworm with my lawnmower yesterday.
I didn’t mean to, he was all of a sudden just there and
boo.
I sure hope he saw those sharp blades heading in his direction.
I hope he took a nosedive into the green grass and exclaimed ‘WHEW ! That was close !’
But.
I’ll never know.
I didn’t look.
I just couldn’t.
Weird how something so small and insignificant sticks in the brain.
Then last night, as I zzzzz-ed with the windows W I D E open, I woke up to an unusual sound
& I immediately thought ! oh no !
It was a critter chasing a fellow critter.
I’m pretty sure it was a coyote and a squirrel.
The coyote was relentless and determined
& eventually,
he won.
& the quiet surrounding that victory is still roaming around in my mind.
The silence was unnerving.
So then, I fall back to sleep and have the strangest dream about guns and mad people and being chased and an evil force who changed his mind and didn’t want to hurt me after all
& hmmmm
That nighttime story is definitely having it’s way with my thought process too.
so
yeah
There’s a message in all those happenings, for sure.
I’m thinking it has something to do with value.
How each and every single one of us, big and small, is here for a reason.
We all have a purpose.
Mine may seem unimportant to you and yours may not make a bit of sense to me but, we all matter.
We. Matter.
& that evil ugliness looming and steadfastly following us in life ?
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Dark and bad things can be changed !! if we just choose to change.
I know what you’re thinking.
It was a worm, get over it !
& you’re probably right.
But, as I sip my coffee and allow the cobwebs of the p.m. to disappear.
As I glance out my front door and see a glimpse of a quarter moon in the morning sky.
As I look out my back window to a most beautiful sunrise …
Oh yes.
I know I received that message loud and clear.
You matter.
I matter.
This, that and alllllll things MATTER
& hey.
Maybe, just maybe, we can change the world today.
