JUST ONE MORE DAY

JUST ONE MORE DAY

You can’t write a blog and play a video game golf tournament at the same time.  Limits and obstacles and we must make choices.  If you want to, choose to be cynical and say, “Just One More Day.”   So now I look at it more closely.  I was predisposed to this being Sunday, and potentially a day of hope and promise.  Sanctuary time, and a place for the mind to go, to rest and be positive and be outside the scope of ordinary and daily practice.  Once a week, put things in G-D’s hands, and go on auto-pilot.  Is how it should be,  and for me to impress this on my mind, must stay away from google and headline banners and targeted ads. 

Oh, yes.  On Sunday, and there is still those out there, who want to get me. “ Get me.”   “Do you get me?”   “Just one more day.”  Does this mean it all has to get done today, Sunday, as this is my last day.  “Just one more.”  When this was typed, I wasn’t aware of the full meaning and scope of this phrase or title.  Even now, is a sense of faith.  It is still Sunday.  And the video game continues.  Where are my priorities?  G-D or Tiger Woods.   ?

 

I have a lead.  It is the final round.  Unless I have a panic attack, nobody will catch me.  Of course, its just one more day, and anything can happen.  But that is true, regardless.  So why paint the scene with streaks of dread, or read,  or red.  Word jargon and we will be judged on the final word.  “…repent.  Repent.  I didn’t know what that meant.”  Leonard Cohen lyrics.  Song sung in another time. 

 

Not today.  Not by me.   But it sticks in my mind, and trivial things often do.  And what are we going to do about it.  We have a lead.  Lead guitar.   Lead in the drinking water or solder.   Good voice.  Strong pipes.  And we could go on like this all day.  Then I realize.  “ Stick to the task.  Focus.  Finish one thing, and then go on to another.”  Seems like something a wise person would say.  Need my strength and need to have breakfast.  Refresh and Nourishment.  Words or Food.  Just One More Day.  What’s on the menu?

 

I need to finish this before the phone rings.  Word jargon and using your words, and saying it right.  Not sure there is certainty that there is one way to do this.  “Just One More Day.”  Should perhaps be, “Just another day.”  Hinting on the condition that this is all routine and ordinary.  Stop thinking in terms of finality and drama in the moment.  Take the day as it comes.  If it is, the last one you will experience, of course that will be noted. 

 

But instead,  all I want to do is finish this before the phone rings.  Want to enjoy Sunday and everything that is implied by that.  Day off.  Weekend.  In the company of loved ones and friends, or with the house dog, which could truly be a loved one and a friend.  Word specific and finding myself not wanting to go into details.  Take back what I said, if I could.  Just One More Day, and did I mention I missed congratulating you on your birthday, or special occasion.

And now I am done.  Need to venture out.  Dressed for the weather and for the event.  Nothing more that needs to be done.  Love what I am doing.  And that’s it.  Have a good day.   May peace be with you.   If indeed there was just one more day,  this is what I would say.  ´Peace be with you, one and all.”
