Take a few minutes to meditate on this lovely poem by William Stafford (1914â1993). It lays out the indispensable foundation for both the Christian life and great leadership. The Way It Is Thereâs a thread you follow. It goes amongthings that change. But it doesnât change.People wonder about what you are pursuing.You have to explain about the thread.But it is hard for others to see.While you hold it you canât get lost.Tragedies happen; people get hurtor die; and you suffer and get old.Nothing you do can stop timeâs unfolding.You donât ever let go of the thread.
