A second poem about grace

Gifts come to us everyday unbidden. 

Some we embrace
                some slip through us: we deemed them insignificant
                                                                                though they may have changed our lives.

Some have impact
                while others are unwelcomed.

Some are fragile
                and we crush them in our haste.

Some are just what we need
                but we expected them to come
                                from another direction, so we ignore them.

How do we learn             
                to pay more attention?

How do we learn to expect?


Can we become more receptive?
