Stick To The Business At Hand : today is enough for today
The enemy (of human consciousness) … Lays hold of what is far off to prevent us from taking advantage of what is at hand. St. Ignatius Loyola
somber skies spill
splash soak
whistle
silver rain sonata
thundering allegro
breathes
silent intermission
cedes
mist and drizzle adagio
plays
today is enough
for today
pull on polka dot wellies
mangled red headgear
wade in liquid sunshine
dissolve laughing
at dripping pup
dancing shake and roll samba
scout out
yesteryear’s wool slippers
retreat to fireside
let not my mind
be tempted to stray
today is enough
for today

Simon Tugwell, OP’s quote is found in today’s selection in An Ignatian Book of Days by Jim Manney is a series of daily reflections from the Spiritual Wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Throughout the book we hear the voices of St. Ignatius as well as many great thinkers and writers, long gone and present day, each uniquely revealing the way of finding God in all things. And that is my intention; to find God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality in whatever presents itself to me each day in 2024.
Each day I read, reflect and write on the selection, hoping to articulate the ways in which I come to know God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality via personal experience, impelled by the leading of my inner life.
