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.
