RELEASE THE HOUNDS OF FRETTING

I walk for exercise

As I walk I plot, scheme, plan and devise

Ways to control, manage and fine tune every detail

But this morning, as I was walking, I had a new thought

"What if I don't try to control anything right now?

What if I just enjoyed walking and let the titanic forces

Of life, nature and the universe do their thing unaided?

What if I controlled nothing right now except my breath and stride?"

My joy was no longer being drained, my stress hormones shut off

As I calmly let my energy flow into the present moment.
