'A Stitch in Time'

Effects are not what are heard in the 
out-loud spaces of a day, but can be seen in glimpses from changes made 
in the still light of morning, carried softly or courageously each day.

Effects are not what are wished 
for but are colourful parts of 
the fabric of our beings hinting, 
at shadows or joys never
expected or chosen in each life.

Effects are not what are designed
only reshaped to fit each life be they 
beautiful or plain spoken, filled with 
joy or sadness ~ when stitched 
with gratitude, change can be born.

“In ordinary life, we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more
 than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.”
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1906 - 1945
