Shhhh
It’s Monday.
Just getting up? Getting ready for work? Already at work?
Go back to bed. Sleep for another hour or so. Leave work, and go home.
Better still, come on over. We’ll sit outside and watch the world go by.
Oh, but you mustn’t talk. Just grunt occasionally so I know you’re still alive.
Yes, I know. There’s a lot going on out there.
People are going through tough times everywhere. People are sick or hungry or dying all over the world.
And yes, I know. You’re not happy with yourself because . . . because . . . because . . .
Some days, it seems nobody really understands you, and relationships with loved ones can sometimes be a real drag.
Everything seems to cost a small fortune these days, and I know, I know, money is tight.
You’re lonely.
I know all that.
But today, just for today, let’s not worry about the world or about our lives.
There is, after all, a time for some tranquility in this world.
So, shhhh . . . quiet your soul.
The next storm will come soon enough.
