Don’t start the fire in the first place
Practice non-attachment
Rise before dawn and exercise like crazy
Find a hobby and immerse yourself totally into it
Take an anger management course
Start a weekly practice of keeping plenty of fresh firewood around you
Stop reading the news
Always keep matches close at hand
Take a vacation and pack in as much as possible
Don’t start the fire in the first place
I just stumbled on this poem and what a delight!
It’s exactly the kind of surprising poem that makes the marathon so fun.
I really love this one! The way it travels is so surprising.
