Litany of choosing

Get up now or snuggle in?

Toast, cereal, tea or coffee?

Zesty lemon shower gel or honey and almond?

Blue socks or green?

Shoes or boots?

Walk or drive?

From the minute we open our eyes

or not

our day is full of choices.

Some huge, some little

but all with consequences.

Impacting us and our neighbour,

folk like us with choices

and folk for whom there are no options

only unremitting sameness

and resignation.

So whether the deal

seems big or small

whatever the ease or difficulty of decision

May we always value the luxury of choice

And may our choices be life enhancing.


See I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity.
Deuteronomy 30 v 15
