Security

November 22security,loose shoe stirngs

I am thankful for security. Security is defined as protection from harm. This can mean physical, financial, property, health, or personal well being. We are all familiar with security systems which protect our houses and businesses from break-ins or theft. Security can also refer to how we feel about our life and comfort level. You can feel financially poor but feel secure in your life and relationships. We all feel much for comfortable when we are secure in all of these issues.

The man in this photo gave me the idea for today's blog. I saw him in the parking lot at Towne Center in Baton Rouge. He was dragging his untied shoestrings behind him as he walked. He was not very secure in his shoe fit and stability and not too secure because of the possibility of tripping on his shoestring.

security

he was secure

in his insecurity

he was assured

of his obscurity

not much he could do

not much with which he was skilled

but never a lost moment

of sleep he had killed

he was secure

in his insecurity

and that made it right

at his level of maturity.
