🪷Instead of Future-fretting
a reminder-rhyme for myself in times of stress and worry
You don’t have to know
how the future will go.
Just be on the ride
and stay on your side.
Reflections in prose
This poem is for reciting in my mind when I notice myself stressing, especially about the immediate future (as I’ve been doing today).
I can’t control the future, and trying to just drags me down.
What works better is to focus on connecting with myself as best I can in the hectic here-and-now.
That’s my steady rock in the stormy river, where I can take refuge, whatever the river brings.
In the notebook
I love that you're still using the river imagery! That's been such a great metaphor for your writing. 😁
