The Universe Knows

Sometimes detours are meant to be on our paths

While we think in our minds that our daily cycle

Includes this and this and this

We plan and schedule just what we think 

We make up our minds to lay the path before us

Yet sometimes, something happens that begs a detour

The Universe says, “Whoa up.  You need to do this.”

And so the change comes and we see 

That something or someone needed us to be there

On a different path, if only for a short time

It may be something big or something small

It doesn’t matter

It may be something that allows for needed rest

You may never know the reason for a detour

But the Universe knows and allows for good

Whether to help someone, help yourself, rest

The Universe knows
