Weather Report, May 10th

Dear Fayerweather Community,

I’m sharing a poem that will hopefully add a pleasant moment to your day and the week ahead.

TRUST

By Thomas R. Smith (from “Healing The Divide”)

It’s like so many other things in life
to which you must say no or yes.
So you take your car to the new mechanic.
Sometimes the best thing to do is trust.

The package left with the disreputable-looking 
clerk, the check gulped by the night deposit,
the envelope passed by dozens of strangers-------
all show up at their intended destinations.

The theft that could have happened doesn’t.
Wind finally gets where it is going
through the snowy trees, and the river, even
when frozen, arrives at the right place.

And sometimes you sense how faithfully your life
Is delivered, even though you can’t read the address.

Thinking of you,
Kim
