THE UNEXPECTED TURN
10.29.11
I’m reminded of getting
lost in Chicago.
My brother and I were
driving
to the West Coast
and had car problems.
This was before GPS, way
before!
We managed to find the
parts place.
But took a wrong turn
heading back to the freeway.
Ended up somewhere,
but it definitely
was not a good place to be.
Luckily someone not only
told us to leave
but gave us directions.
With the explicit caution:
“You don’t want to be here
after sunset!”
Very grateful we were.
Yesterday was as dramatic
but in a positive way.
An unexpected turn I did
take
where it will lead I
haven’t a clue.
But signs along the way make
me realize
it had to be this way.
My how life throws us
curves.
A seemingly normal day
just takes a dramatic turn.
After that turn
suddenly I accomplished
a lot at work.
So busy I stayed until 6:30
or so
on a Friday night even.
The St. Louis Cardinals won
The World Series
after being 10 games out
near the end of the season.
One strike from elimination
twice just the night before.
Still they won the last two
games to win it all.
So unexpected turns
were on a far grander stage
than mine yesterday.
May an unexpected turn
brighten your day.
For you just never know
how your day will unfold.
All My Love Always, Keith
But life inevitably throws us curve
balls,
unexpected circumstances that remind us
to expect the unexpected.
I've come to understand these curve balls
are the beautiful unfolding of both karma
and current.
