Worry is a killer, and many times we have unnecessary worries. A calm existence is precious for it gives us peace.

You have many lines in this of which I could say much, but it would take so much space and time that I will pass. Good read!

'he believes our hearts into lifting

into loving

again and again'

Love these lines. How someone else's belief allows us to believe in ourselves.

Wow, this is stunning! I love the journey it goes on and the way in which it expresses the feeling and then explores it more with example. Great writing!

Thanks @Sarah Howard Lapine this presence thing, in us and in others. It seems to do so much.

Absolutely. And some days it's so much harder to stay there. Always trying to remember.

Appreciate you saying this Wren. Had to try and find a quiet spot on our camp holiday in France!

Beautiful. «Don’t mess with Texas»! Or in this case do — with love!

Thanks Jonathan, ‘don't mess with the Texas’, I like that. It's quite the place. You might have even inspired me to share this with my 92 old uncle.

Great poem! Thank you for sharing. I grew up on all those same songs. I grew up on that “worry” as well. It’s always a journey to say goodbye to it. Bless you! Keep writing. We need you. 🙏❤️
