Time mocks me like the impish will-o’-the-wisp: “Places to be, things to see.” Tempting, taunting, twirling me into the gloaming.

Walking among the mundane and the ordinary. Slipping between the cracks of good-day and goodbye. Neatly tucked beneath a smile or a wave. Light glistening off the unseen. In the form of a helping hand or a warm embrace. When ways wind & bend and shadows lengthen. Many will miss the claim of the Father…
