Relax

Relax

...and quit trying so hard.

Those of us who wander too far
soon learn you'll only get lost.
And those of us who climb and climb
will learn you never reach the top.

I'm so often reminded
there's absolutely nothing
God's needing to be done
 that I alone must do.

When I lean into the wind
I can hear thousands of voices,
all buzzing in unison,
Quit trying so hard!


 Some people are so heavenly minded
that they are no earthly good.
~ Olvier Wendell Holmes, Sr.
