Surprise

Who will visit?

I walked alone up along the high path, narrow and exposed. A stony way, with winds and crags.

I came upon a wide landing, protected, where I met face to face a deer.

Our shock at seeing one another: why was each there? Were they lost?

Am I lost? Where does this path lead, Lord?

If I find a spot, and rest, who will visit and surprise me?

Consider:

Can I be open to who and what may arise?
