INCREMENTSI live by increments, singlebreaths of an ambient air,marking off hours, days. Apprenticed to grace, I tread statioin sequentiae, edging every stepforward before venturing the next. Staggering up towards the stonycrests of the foothills, dusty, I amalmost undone with weariness, only halfbelieving that the view will widen. In my falling upward into your home,O Faithful One, stay with me,your wind music playing the ear ofmy mind like an instrument. "This is how life happens, one day at a time, in increments! And God is in each of them for us," Luci Shaw
