🪷 That’s Life

a poem for when you’re feeling down on yourself

I wrote this as a simplified self-reminder following the inner journey I wrote about yesterday in my Commonplace Brook post “Let us, then, be up and doing.”

So you don't have all
  the challenges solved,
    the people appeased,
      the answers accrued--
that's life. You've still got 
  power inside,
    unique insight,
      and work to do.
