An Hour of Listening.

I have given you your daily
                                                 bread.
I have given you your
                                        manna.

You take double
                    handfuls, you hoard until it turns to
rot, you cram full your stomach until you
                    vomit, you are so afraid of starving.

Tomorrow is too big for you.
You want to hold it, not knowing
                                                   it will crush
                                                                  you.

But you are strong enough for today,
at least  for this hour,
this minute. You can take one
                                                     more
                                                                step.
You have strength enough for that.

If I told you your future, you would not
be able
            to move. It is too heavy,
                          you would crumple
                          to the ground
                          under its weight.

You think by knowing, you would have
                                                                 peace,
but it would destroy you, for you
still would not believe you could reach
                                                           such a beautiful end.
So trust me, this time. Just
                                                  for
today.
