The next stage of the journey

Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, Sunday, March 6, 2011

I turn to the next stage of my life

and prepare to be dazzled by

what waits for me around the next corner.

A new door opens; a new stage;

and I feel no fear: a bit of early morning

tiredness, perhaps—but mostly

anticipation, eagerness, all for this

adventure of heart and mind and spirit.

We take up the tools that wait for us,

with which we will do our little part

(but grand and eloquent as well)

to make the world better, to bring

more light, more warmth to those

who need it so very much;

to meet new souls along the way

and greet them, and marvel at their

grace and beauty, and smile

as we glimpse, sometimes just for an instant,

too often as they are passing,

a reflection of our common journey

in their eyes.
