GIVE IT TIME

This is all the inner journey
in and into You
is asking of me:
Give it time.

Which translates:
Give it my here and my now
Give it my full-bodied and focused attention
Give it my willingness and my willfulness
Give it my humility and my humanity
Give it my energy and my honesty
Give it my best and my worst.

Suddenly,
it sounds like a lot,
like way too much.
But, ironically, I know
it’s not.

In fact
it’s nothing,
a pittance compared to what You give me
if and when
I do it.
