When life looms large

Not quite a haiku, but enough. Short, longer, short. A haiku in principle if not in exact syllables. I like to think it would be right if translated into Japanese.

When life looms large

Do the next thing and only then

Do the next one.

True North

Job interview this afternoon for a position which means I do not have to translate or offer apologetics for being a priest, first and foremost.  I am looking forward to the interview to find out if it is a possible match to who I am and what I have to offer.

Sometime in the last month

Maybe two

I reoriented

Like a compass

Pointed west northwest

Back to more true

North.

This feels

More right

More true.

I am excited to see

What true north

Brings.
