"These negations of the positive, like

The negatives of photographs, or

shadows of trees, are what trail

behind and never touches,

never stains. Pay it no mind."

I ❤️ this stanza!

My mantra, since the pandemic in particular, has been, "Control What You Can Control." there is so much in our lives that is completely out of control that I have found if I focus on what I can, that is the best I can do. I can't control wars, climate change, pandemics, or even politicians, but I can control the things in my life that I encounter every day. To help with that, I had to delete all social media (Substack is the only social media I am on) and control the amount of news I let in. And, kindness rules the day, especially in a world where violence, hatred, and bad news sells. Kindness is what the world truly needs.

Thank you for sharing your words with us, which I have read as I have coffee from sunny Brooklyn.
