🤗 A Better Life ~ Keeping Things in Perspective
Draw a large circle on a piece of paper. Inside the circle list all of the items that are on your mind (small and large). When you are finished, review and cross out each item over which you do not have any direct control. You’ll find your world has become much simpler and more manageable. Happy crossing out.
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]
[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]
e.e. cummings
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
