Prayer #102: The Best Waylaid Plans
My laptop is in the shop with at best a broken fan and at worst a fried motherboard. Expect light postings until it's back in the pink of health. Also expect a prayer based on what not having your third arm computer makes you ponder ...
P.S. How awesome would it be if our electronics came back from repair with a hospital gown, ID bracelet, and a Band-Aid sticker, a la American Girl?
Prayer #102: The Best Waylaid Plans
The saved chocolate that melts in your pocket
The wrong turn from the outdated map
The late train shuttle in a chilly morning
The conversation that sounded better when you rewrote it in your head
The leftovers gone bad in an empty fridge
The battery, dead, a forgotten switch
The black ice patch on a thawing sidewalk
The tiny umbrella that can't protect your backpack from winter rain
Become instead
An experimental dessert
An impromptu adventure
A chance to stretch your legs
A surprising revelation
An excuse to order pizza
A prompt to write a letter
A little rest on the ground
A spur to get home
Which says to me
That maybe
this was always
and exactly
Your plan.
Amen.
