This day dawns as no accident. The false turns, the coincidental meetings, the surprise elations — all planned.

You made this day, and its contents, for me, Lord. What have I made, in return, for you?

Do I fashion an altar for worship in my rooms? Do I write song or sonnet in praise? Do I build a home, where you may dwell with me, and I with you?

Instead I walk through the day, filled with surprise and turmoil.

Let me build a home, Lord, of the pieces of my life.

(Letter #3,313)
