My Journey to God

Staycation

Don’t go.
Stay.
And when you stay,
Stop.
Take time
To reflect upon
Where you’ve been
And where you might be heading.
Savor the moment,
The “here and now,”
The “right where you are.”
Stand still among the trees
In your own backyard.
Linger in their company.
Stay put
So Father, Son and Spirit can
Catch up
And rest in your soul.
Perhaps this is the vacation
You need most.
