I love summer and wow the lack of routine can really put my head and body in a spin. Along with the state of the world, it has felt like a lot lately to process. The joy of summer spontaneity can sometimes get wiped out by the endless schedule shuffle and lack of foundation. Join us the next few weeks for grounding offerings at Yess Yoga.
I Worried
Mary Oliver
I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers
flow in the right direction, will the earth turn
as it was taught, and if not how shall
I correct it?
Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven,
can I do better?
Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows
can do it and I am, well,
hopeless.
Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it,
am I going to get rheumatism,
lockjaw, dementia?
Finally, I saw that worrying had come to nothing.
And gave it up. And took my old body
and went out into the morning,
and sang.
