Sidestep...

Sometimes circumstances throw me a curve ball and I have to step back from the plate. The train is barreling toward me and rather than fight with an immovable force, taking a few steps to one side or the other I am free from harm. Sometimes the ground is hard and the row takes more time to hoe, or the soil is too wet to sow. The storm sends debris across my path and the rain floods over the bridge. I have had to step aside, toil in hard dirt, be patient while the waters rise then fall to enrich the fields. Some things cannot be rushed into or away from. For a little longer I need to step aside and be still before I step out into the open. Until then...
