The Necessary Thing

there is always opportunity
moments to dig
to draw close
especially in the busy lives we live
especially in the suffering
in the daily hum and beat
in the hurry from one place to another
there is always the chance
to speak to our Beloved
Who is mad for us
Who sees the real you and me
He knows our true name
as we follow whatever it is we follow today
as we do the things we have to do
we should remember the "one thing"
the necessary thing Mary chose
while Martha did all the other things
that needed doing....
