Blind But Now I See

Unexpectedly, I had a few hours to do …
Something.

I looked at my shelves desultorily:
Surely there would be something to read?

But what came to mind again and again was
The Blind Side, that Sandra Bullock movie.

Caleb and I headed to storage to get it.
I was scanning movie titles when he escaped.

He kicked over some books, and I, impatient,
Started to push them together.

And there, at the bottom of the stack,
Was a commentary on Ephesians.

My inner being leapt: this was what I desired.
I had forgotten I had it.

The movie went unwatched.
But the way my day ended satisfied me.
