Whose hand veils the future? Who keeps me bound to this moment, here and now?
Yours, Lord.
I peer around corners, over cliffsides, into wells. Straining to see what I cannot, imagining trial and treasure both, just out of view.
❖
Perhaps my best life is one where I can only see my feet.
Thank you for keeping me here, Lord.

Consider:
Can I refrain from peering past what I can see?
