Creative Coping

What disrupts balance?

What brings balance?

Perhaps it is not a thing sought but

Rather, the knowing how to seek-

I won’t summon thirst and hunger,

Let them call me when they will,

Let them approach with steady paces,

I’ll greet them them with slow, frugal

Hospitality, and hope they’ll be the kind of guests

Who leave early, to beat the traffic.
