Food for Thought

What will I feed my soul today?

Stories of a world in turmoil,

Expressions of rage and anger,

Bites of injustice,

News of another atrocity

Or the results of neglected warnings from nature?

Have I forgotten that what I consume creates or

Perpetuates

The world I see?

Perhaps it’s time at last to quiet my mind,

To feed my soul images of peace,

Stories of love,

Compassion,

Hope

And remember

That I am not a victim of the world I see,

But it’s maker.

Inspiration / Author Note

It's so easy to get caught up in the news cycle, the turmoil of the the world we see and allow ourselves to drift into a sense of helplessness. Let's take a break from the carnage and change our mental diet to create a sweeter experience.
