By adding up time
spent on worry, we’d see how
it subtracts from happiness.

By adding up time
spent on poetry, we’d see
how it multiplies pleasure.

When worry washes
over us and we fear we’ll
drown, what must we do?
~
We must do nothing!
We can choose to tread water
or swim for the distant shore.
When in a hurry
how can we keep from being
flurried and uncalm?
~
Bury the flurry.
Erase the haste and worry
not about the coming storm.
