So I am attempting a double whammy! The #fiveminuteFriday word prompt is Observant. I am also doing the #rethinkcreativelentchallenge and their prompt word is Sign. So blending the two together here is my 5 minutes of lunchtime creatively
I'm not very observant
When it comes to noticing the signs
Do I go left or right
Round in a circle
Or jump up and down
Looking back in hindsight
Is such a great thing
But not a gift
Of time shifts
For changing outcomes of things
Maybe instead
Of having my head in a spin
Being in a dither
Not committing
Or choosing
I need to see the sign
Then be still be quiet
Letting the Holy Spirit lead
Following the sign
Which his wisdom provides
Less Nuts More Fruit 
“Be still and know …” Thank you for your thoughts! (FMF#14)

This really resonates with me Loretta! I can miss the obvious when it’s literally at the end of my nose. And on a spiritual level, I wonder how often I miss God speaking and interacting with me just because I’m not in tune or distracted.

I struggle to wait and be still–I’m the dive in and get things done sort of person. But, the older I get, the more I value waiting for God to direct and not just jumping in.

Traffic signs, well I ignore
them; those I do not need,
and with the throttle to the floor
I revel in speed,
the kind that made my old dear friend
who took offer of a ride
leap away at journey’s end
to find somewhere to hide.
He could not bear the tyres’ squeal
or, perhaps, worse yet,
my one hand upon the wheel,
in other, cigarette.
The poor chap thought that I was mental,
but hey, the car, it was a rental!
