Letter 4417
In the early dawn I make my rounds. Garden, barn, field, walls and fences.
There is a path along the meadow with a grand vista. I pause along the way to take it in.
Another spot gives me a view of the abattoir in the distance. It pains me to see.
❖
The sun shines on each of these spots equally, how do I justify thinking one different than another?
Let me walk with equanimity and without judgment, Lord.
Consider:
Can I walk without judgment?
