Recording the moments of my life
As they trip by each day.
Holding onto them all
the deep philosophical questions
and the lupin seeds I forgot to water
the aggressive spread of my cancer
and Hadas’ first new tooth.
There’s no yesterday and no tomorrow
Only here, now, this precious moment.
The delicate flowers on my table
The beautiful cakes set out on the counter
The smell of coffee and the voices in the background
That’s the stage for this moment of my life.
And I’m in the play. Here. Now. Fully.

The leap of faith is to believe, even when all evidence
is to the contrary, that God is with me and that He alone can
and will heal me. I am standing at the abyss, ready to jump.
God-catch me when I fall, or, better yet, help me to fly.
