floating down a cold
slow moving river
seemingly in its calmness
can in fact take a turn
for the worse.
eyes distracted on the beauty
of the trees on each side.
then it happens,
you hit a log –
it tips you over.
that water is extremely sensitive
to your skin.
it leaves you sputtering,
your temperament and personality
start to show.
it’s like that in the real world
when it comes to your extreme sensitivity
in our economy an culture.
these bumps in life
causes duress to get upstream.
put it in context –
reduce the impact –
keep an eye out
to feel better and get clear headed.
recognize a humbling wonderful truth –
find a new river !!
