Overload
Find a quiet space to escape
confusion and mayhem,
the continuous bombardment
of information that comes
from many sources.
Leave the world behind for a while
in a relaxed state of mind,
let your thoughts drift freely
in whatever sanctuary where you may take refuge;
troubles of the outside can’t reach you there.
When the time is right, emerge
from your peaceful abode,
knowing that you may resume
the place from which a choice can be made
as to how you will respond to the less fortunate.
Whether prayer is your approach
or you choose to play an active role,
rest assured that your efforts
may be cherished by those
who depend on the kindness of others.
