I’m standing strong against this week’s tsunami of tasks and to-do lists. If you feel inspired by this painting by the talented Cynthia Decker, please join me in penning 30 words or less in the face of the rising tides of your life.
Happy Tuesday!
“Oblivious” Cynthia Decker
The Changing Tide
When the storm before you
merges sea with sky.
And the luxuries
that adorn you
won’t save you from demise.
Hoist your sail
before the swell;
brave the changing tide.

Some parts of me are buoyant, for sure. But, I’m not sure how long I can tread water anymore. Thanks for stopping by, Simon.
