There is so much to do.

A poem

Feb 7, 2023

There is so much to do:
4 meetings. 3 clients.
About 16 students to soothe.
Curriculum to create—up to
16 lesson plans. Of course, the
next BIG STOP in HOW I MAKE $$$$ or
how I make myself or how I
unfold myself in the world in a way that
I can live with. And don't forget the
body: feed it. Dress it. Exercise and
stretch it. Roll out each vertabrae.
Stand and help the blood
ricochet about all your veins.
HELP YOUR HEART and be
peaceful. Talk to family, friends and
make new friends AND expand your
family by finding true love. 

But right now at 9:30 am on this
Tuesday, I'm in a cafe eating an
Aztec Bowl when this poem hits.
I am 40; so many numbers
attack and shape your steps in
life but I know none of them matter if I
don't do exactly this.
