What Do You Do?

What do you do
when the weight of the world
feels too heavy to bear?
Cry out?
Dig in?
Shop
to distract yourself?
Drive away
to somewhere desolate,
beautiful,
lonely
or mysterious?
Stay in a motel for the night and lose yourself in the bedspread’s pattern?
Look for permanence through fossils,
ancient objects
or solid cement statuary that won’t easily disintegrate?
Amuse yourself with strange creatures
and odd juxtapositions?
When there’s no more room for anger,
let peace rain down softly from the trees. Peace and light.

Take a walk with me by reading my daily devotional book, Meditations on Mendocino by Sondra Sula. Available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle versions.

If you’d prefer a daily river walk, Reflections on the Fox River and Beyond by Sondra Sula, might just be the book for you.
