Tomorrow is on my mind
And I’m not very happy about it.
It started with a comment
That sounded threatening
I grew nervous
Maybe even
(And I hate to admit this)
Scared.
They were merely words
Spoken about tomorrow
Now.
Powerful words
That rearranged everything in my mind.
Nothing really changed.
Not really.
Really,
The only thing that changed
Was my mind.
So, you tell me…
Now.
How much stock should I put in words or
Thoughts on tomorrow?

Tough question in a world governed by extremes. The prevailing logic says you should either worry yourself into several health problems about it, OR not give it a second thought, live for the moment (and let others clean up the mess).
MAYBE focus on it enough to make sure the ship is heading in the right direction, and trust the sails from there. 😉
Wise words Silk Cords. Well said! 👏
Don’t tell anyone, you’ll ruin my rep. 😀
😂 IKR?!?!
What Silk Cords said!
Yes!
It depends upon who said the words. In one respect, tomorrow never gets here because it morphs into today. Some people thrive on scare tactics–either to pronounce them or to enact them. Others like to be scared, think of horror movie fans. One thing scares me and hopefully election day will determine that, if all of the players abide by historically expected behavior. Precedent or president.
Have you ever read “The Fourth Turning” by Neil Howe and William Strauss.
It’s a fascinating book. It was published in ‘97 (I think) and is spot on accurate in its predictions. After having read that book I have no fear about politics and economics— they follow predictable cycles like everything in nature. I prepare for them much like one would prepare for winter back in the day. In that sense it is crucial to have an idea or plan in place for tomorrow but worry about? Not so much…
Resisting the natural cycle is almost like resisting winter… futile.
Tomorrow never arrives. It only unfolds now… I have woke up in the middle of the night in terror with thoughts of tomorrow. When I pull myself into the now I say “wait, I’m safe. Sleeping in my bed. There is a roof over my head, food in the pantry. What could I possibly do at this moment to fix ‘tomorrow’?”
In times like that there is absolutely nothing I can do! And so I try to then settle into the rest and peace of Now.
Thanks for sharing Pat!
