Which Way Do You Hear It?
Sometimes it is not what is said,
but how you hear it.
Give thanks in all circumstances,
the New Testament says.
My Bubby would say
when you can see the blessing
in any situation,
then you know you will be okay.
Then there was Robin Williams who said
Bad things draw our attention to
the good things we have overlooked.
I have been told they have nothing in common,
but as they sit with me
I hear different twists on the same thing
Give thanks!
Doing so will help me see the blessings.
Doing so will shift my focus from what is bad
to what is good.
Doing so reminds me to not take for granted
the everyday blessings.
Sometimes I have to stop taking things for granted.
I have to give thanks for the bad
because they help me see the good
and all the blessings I had become blind to.
I have to give thanks in all circumstances
and know that when I or others stop,
the Universe will find a way
to make me stop and see anew
and it won’t be so important which way I hear,
but that I do.
