I do not know
what the future will bring.
I cannot worry
of what comes next.
No need to fret
about these insignificant worries.
No need to substitute
knowledge for wisdom.
T’is my big mistake for
there is no substitute.
My benefit of true wisdom,
only comes from me
and my relations with God.
My spiritual life grows
only in the times
when I am silent, praying,
listening for the wisdom to come
from the words of God. Listening
and learning about my spiritual life.
