You can’t do it all, but do your best. If you can’t do your best, do someone else’s best. Ideally someone better than you.

I have built
Cathedrals of hope
And watched them shatter
In a breath of wind.
Even as they tumbled,
They were beautiful –
A million shards
Catching a sunset light.
And you asked me,
What was the purpose?
But all I could do was smile –
And watch the shower, and begin again
In the freshness of new morning,
With only a humble brick of glass,
A fragile mortar,
And a joyful heart.
Once again the heat broke with the rain,
And the sun came out as soon as it stopped,
With hours left to shine before nightfall,
And the world was clean, as clean as a new soul.
