“Thanks, I Needed That!”

Is every experience,
whatever it may seem to be,
somehow Meant
to help us with our mothers
and, through them, to Beyond?
There used to be a TV ad for an aftershave lotion. The man would apply it to his face – which he’d then slap. The punch-line: “Thanks, I needed that!”
Well, yesterday it’s like I applied the lotion – and got the slap. And I too am grateful.
Like the ad, except that I am Given to believe the lotion was applied to me – as Meant.
That problem yesterday,
looked at now,
has helped me
closer to Her.
