Mother’s Advice

Here is something I learned from my mother:
Non-acceptable ways of venting anxiety include
Sleeping
Eating
Anger
&
Complaining to friends
But cleaning the house puts not only your home in order
It gives you time to put yourself in order 

Night Stirring

The cool night breeze
Is a balm that can be compared to no other
The dust and oppressive heat of day removed
A quiet stirring of hopeful dreams
Carrying the scent of somewhere far away
