Keep it simple


Tonights meeting had this as a topic. I was sitting down reading some Robert Frost tonight and came upon this poem that reminded me how easy it can be to keep things simple :O) You can always just rebalance the load :O) Love you all...enjoy!


"The Armful"


For every parcel I stoop down to seize


I lose some other off my arms and knees


And the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns -


Extremes too hard to comprehend at once,


Yet nothing I should care to leave behind.


With all I have to hold with, hand and mind


And heart, if need be, I will do my best


To keep thier building balanced at my breast.


I crouch down to prevent them as they fall;


Then sit down in the middle of them all.


I had to drop the armful in the road


And try to stack them in a better load.
