Whoever watches the wind will not plant;
whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.
As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed in a mother ’s womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.
Sow your seed in the morning,
and at evening let not your hands be idle,
for you do not know which will succeed,
whether this or that,
or whether both will do equally well. ~ Ecclesiastes 11:14-16 (NIV)
What if?
Contingency plans
in case
by chance
the worst should happen,
the end of time,
the big one,
global conflagration,
in the eventuality
of the unlikely,
the worrier is likely
not to lose
for, taking no action,
making no plans,
nothing’s there,
come hell,
high water —
or good fortune ignored.
I have now,
and now only,
but I can trust, work, prepare
for the bounty available,
the promises received
