From morning until night

I am busy.

Surely all this motion

Is getting me somewhere,

Isn’t it?

Somewhere . . .

What an indefinite term!

Where am I going?

Am I any closer to being there

Than I was yesterday?

I don’t know . . .

I’ve been so busy going,

I haven’t thought about

Where . . .

Of course, I know,

I want to know God,

Now . . .

As He is revealed in Jesus Christ.

Let’s check and see if I’m going

Ahead,

Or backward,

Or nowhere . . .
