I’ve been thinking about incidental growth.
In the core of me, my spirit follows God,
And I hope that any decision I make
Would not change that.
But the outer circles of my being
Are contoured by choices.
Low maintenance by personality and marriage.
Verbal and visual, by birth and inclination.
Hospitable by marriage and training.
Cheerful, perhaps, by circumstance and personality.
Growth in one direction precludes growth in another.
I wonder, though, how a different-contoured me might be.
