Calm the Chaos

Just for today I will allow the world to be as crazy as it is.  I will let the breaking news carry on as if everything they say is really important.  Just for today I will let the shoppers compete for the bargains, spending so much more than they think they’re saving.

Just for today I will read and write in the calmness of my home, while chaos ensues at every corner of the world.  I will sip my coffee while contemplating on the peacefulness within, as people with their holiday visitors argue with and annoy one another.

Just for today I will recline in my chair with the comfort of cats, a dog, and a blanket, and let the highways and roads clutter and clatter, with folks honking and yelling unfavorable epithets.

Just for today I will listen to music, calm and soothing, as the world carries on its noise of news and views, of booming and dooming, with arguments and agitations.

Just for today - a very fine day -  I retreat to a peaceful place I visit deep within where I am safe, happy, and calm.  Just for today can be any day, any time, just about anywhere.  Just let it be for today.   Theresa M
