From day to day, the better part
lives and breathes, beckoning to all.
Caught in between concerns and cares,
weighed down with worries and/or fears,
but always there for the finding.

From day to day, the better part
waits us out, and begs our pardon.
Patience looks for the gate to lift
and the willful to be open;
the Timeless, ready on a dime.

From day to day, the better part
flows from the heart of one’s choosing.
But what underlies the surface?
Influencers? Influences?
Aware or not, we all have them.

Jesus entered a village
where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him.
She had a sister named Mary
who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak.
Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said,
“Lord, do you not care
that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving?
Tell her to help me.”
The Lord said to her in reply,
“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.
There is need of only one thing.
Mary has chosen the better part
and it will not be taken from her.” – Luke 10:38-42
