Find Destiny Around the Corner

Find Destiny Around the Corner

Force

Just now,

it whispered itself

out of my mouth—

a funny word,

extruded—

I heard

as a young boy

and didn’t know.

It stayed with me—

that weird word

I never learned

in a formal way—

till I somehow

felt its meaning.

Moments ago,

to serve the haunting,

I looked it up.

Do you have a

word like that,

one that forces

its way out of you?

To Ponder

            1.   Seemingly, some things come along out of nowhere

                  and make a claim on us.

            2.   I have found myself responding to a question about

                  which I know little, getting into it, and seeing that I know

                  quite a bit .

            3.   What, lying beneath the surface, are you prepared to

                  take on to which you bring unique strengths?

            4.   There’s a word for seeing what others—and even you—

                  haven’t seen and now do: Creativity!

            5.   There’s often an uncanny timeliness between what

                  freshly has been discovered and some need that new

                  knowledge serves.

            6.   Be receptive to a funny sound you’ve never heard

                  before, a taste for a new dish, going where you’ve never

                  gone.

            7.   See how natural it can be to make a new friend of

                  someone you’ve always avoided.
