when I started my prayer today
it struck me that a new day is like a new place:
a new place that I arrive into and must set up tent.
my only guidelines are what happened yesterday,
and possibly the day before.
using those I can steer fairly safely through this new day.
but if I decide to throw away my guidelines,
(when I lose faith in them or try new guidelines of my own;
or, more likely, lie in the grass and watch the sky)
I will probably get lost in the new day
just as I would if it were a new country
and I had thrown away the only map.
