It’s not in the vernacular

Or part of my mission statement

So why do I offer it as an aside

As if you need it

There are better words

Ones that tack on more meaning

And depth

We don’t operate on it

We don’t base our hopes on it

Luck is not what brought you here

Good or Bad

In the absence of thought

I’d take those words back

And say:

May the same Spirit that guided you here

Instruct and keep you in its knowing

That you may with confidence

Step in the fullness of peace, joy and love

And that you would know guidance

That has always been with you

Not good luck

But favor and grace

Beyond a full cup

Surpassing comprehension
