inside

it’s very quiet

 

in fact it’s quite content.

 

outside

there are deadlines

and everyone wants their money

on time.

 

inside

it’s very cocoon-esque

 

outside

there’s a lot of dishes

and cleaning and paperwork

to sort through.

 

inside there is peace

outside there is war

 

after daily meditation

I do my best to carry the

inside out,

kind conversations at each doorstep.

 

sometimes we are very lucky

and experience the inside

outside, but it usually takes

cooperation,

 

Harmony, beauty and balance

wait in the wings every day

give them good lines, costumes

and fair roles and

you just might have the theater

of your fondest dreams.
