Appearing Act

bonniejeannekimball Uncategorized March 14, 2020March 14, 2020 1 Minute

Those thoughts are trouble.   
Can't leave your safe place,
making you abstain from life.

What magic will make them leave?
So you can get on with actual living.
They are tools, not destinations.

Stand outside yourself 
and there you are.
Free to avoid absence, perfectly good again.

Present.

  I needed to read it again myself for a reminder. Hard one to memorize. I think the only part I would remember if I memorized it would be the last word. Present.
