I Worried

Post any poetry here. It's just too hard to define "inspired" in this context, so we will settle for that which inspires.

Hi Eric :happy
I found this poem very comforting as my worrying had recently reached uncharted heights. I think like the poem, essentially it became finally obvious the uselessness of worry. Life is what it is and I decided I will just try to just do the best I can here and let the chips fall as they will.

Your friend's poem was like confirmation I was on the right track and practicing better thinking with peace of mind the objective.

So yeah... :sunflower: Thanks for posting this!

love,
Sandy

Eric,
The last stanza set the others free! How many times and ways have we been told the futility of this all consuming act?... And yet, for some of us it seems to be woven into the fabric of our very being? Perhaps, the conquering of this one destructive behavior is all some of us can hope to accomplish during this soul building Correcting Time?

Sandy,
Okay, let's link arms, take a deep breath, shammezal and schmmazel our old bods out into the morning and sing! And of course dance with Mr. Banana Man under the newly blooming lilacs! :bana: :sunflower: :bana:

Who would have thought that an old "seventies" and early "eighties" show(Laverne and Shirly) could contain such long term wisdom. :)
Do you remember that song they often sang... Here it is...
