Stepping Stones

 STEPPING STONES


“my songs in the house of my pilgrimage” — Psalm 119:54


The floor—as I’m sure we’re all 

aware—is lava. I needn’t tell 

you, then, that getting from here

to there will require 

an extra dose of creativity from 

those of us yet exiled in the living room, 

will necessitate we make 

unexpected combinations of the resources

available. Ours is a bric-a-brac 

path we craft one tip-toe at a time,

balancing on what we know

while reaching for what we don’t, 

thus picking our careful way across

the floor-plan of our sojourn  

to the narrow hall which leads

to the high ground of the king bed.
