One thing

We are a multi-tasking world. Breathe. What is the one thing for now.

Only one thing
Is needed
Right now.
We figure out
Which one
Is required
for today.
Every day
It is different.
We think
It must be one today
Then two
Tomorrow
Then on and on
And on
Until we
Have lost track
Of the first.
It is lost
In the dust
Of yesterday.
No
Everything builds
On those needed things.
Nothing is lost
but today
Has one needful thing.
It is there.
It shines
In its particularity.
