If you walk around speedily,
With purpose in your gait,
And a serious look upon your face,
You may even convince yourself,
Of your importance.
Does sitting still,
In a relaxed and peaceful pose,
Prove that you,
Don’t matter much,
To the world?
Only your ego asks you to,
“Do the math.”
Counting appearances,
Of much greater worth,
Than happiness or substance.

Time and again, we need to revitalize that which we lose in the rush of events. Well said. (I think you have a typo ‘importance’ should it be?)

Thanks for saying Yudith! Ha, ha, I love that I typoed “importance.” A further reminder that I’m not so important and my ego always needs to take a back seat! We need God and each other. I appreciate your beautiful comment, and your good eyes!!

A good deep meaningful poem Gilda. The ego is still one of our greatest challenges. Just when we think we have it conquered it comes back and bites us even harder. Something to challenging to reflect on.

Since the ego is always “running scared,” I imagine sitting still would not be ego’s “cup of tea.” Just my own thought. Thanks for visiting/liking!☺️
