Control

And the Wisdom to Know The Difference

Your mind will keep generating
“things to control”
as long as it believes
control equals safety.

And your mind is doing
what it has always done:
trying to turn uncertainty
into something you can grasp or solve.

What is fated?
And what’s fixable?

Do the next right thing.
Clean your side of the street.
And do not confuse anxiety
with prophecy.

We don't swim for the horizon
until we lose site of the shore.
