Poems

Priorities

By LINDA CONRADI WATT

From the December 1982 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Martha tasks
loom mountain-high,
thought-wearying
at the outset.

A choice?
Mary chose
a quiet path
of listening
and heard his word.1

And we can listen
for God's Word
to reduce the mountain—
moment by moment—
to triumph
in our tasks
with joy

His way.

LINDA CONRADI WATT

1 Luke 10:39.↑
