Trying not to get swept up

In the frenzy of it all

Keeping my eyes open

My heart open

My mouth shut (as much as possible)

And my fight or flight instinct in check

The world seems to be in such chaos

It has probably always been this way

Changing

Melding

Contact flux

I can see it as positive

I can see it as negative

Or I can just let it be

And do what I need to do

Walk the steps I need to walk

Help where I can help

How I can help

Starting in a concentric circle

Helping myself be healthy and happy

Centered

Calm

Helping my children

My friends

Family

Neighbors

Strangers

All I can

When I can

How I can

It's not saving the world

Or is it?
