I told a friend just today:
Gather up those worries
("concerns" she had called them).
Acknowledge them, for no worry will put up with
being shoved into the cellar of your mind.
Then bless them.
Then let them go.
"Easy like pie," as my old Ukrainian boss
used to say.
Well, no. Not easy.
As simple as a circle,
but in no way easy.
You have to be willing to let go, for example.
And if you've built a happy home for yourself
in the midst of your worries,
if you are of the "worries R us" crowd,
then you might wonder what will remain
if you let them go.
So: not easy, no. What's needed here
is a little clarity.
How badly do I need and want those worries?
Figuring that out is step number one.
Oh, stop analyzing.
Here's the thing:
Collect.
Acknowledge.
Bless.
Then let go.
Easy like pie.
