Baba on route to the rendezvous in Prague
instructed Elizabeth to pull off the road,
where He paced the shoulder deep within Himself,
urging Elizabeth later to drive faster
upon the rain slickened two lane.
Only in retrospect can we note the calculation –
having to be at a certain spot
at the precisely scheduled moment.
When we have seemingly failed again our Beloved,
sidetracked, distracted, rather than
dwell upon our guilt and discouragement
might we not view our lapse
as God’s adjustment to the pace
of our divinely scheduled arrival? –
humbled yet heartened by the faith that we are
doing nothing and God is doing everything,
in total control, down the long winding highway
to our rendezvous with destiny.
O child of God, repent of your shortcomings
but don’t overestimate your clout.
