A Ball of Clay

By Bob Perks
A ball of clay in your hands. Your life.

A single musical note on a staff.  Your part of life's song.

A finger print.  You touched life and it remembers.

A kind word spoken. Eternal echoes you may not hear.

A gesture, an action done out of kindness.  Action reverberates into the future even in ways you may never know. 

To love.  To live fully.

To be loved.  The reward.

To give without expectation. The truest form of giving.

To receive graciously.  The gift you give the giver.

To laugh.  To see light.  

To smile.  To share the light.

To forgive.  To be bigger than the hurt, stronger than the transgressor, more Christ-like than the sinner.

To fall.  To learn.

To rise after every fall.  To win over and over again.

To be thankful and grateful.  To live humbly and fully aware of the bountiful life you have discovered in the ball of clay.


"I believe in you!"
