Sometimes you feel like you’ve overslept,
waking up to life late,
that you’ve missed out on something all these years.
But God has no “late.” Only “now.”
This is the day God chooses
to give you a sense of urgency about today.
Regret is the sleep, the not being here.
Come back. Wake up again.
Do it again, every day.

Weather Report
Immediacy
today, like no other.
A large mass of dense, rotating regret
has formed off the coast,
driven by a front of fear,
but it will never make landfall.
No forecast will hold, only
eyes, wide open and ready.
