I'm gonna make all my worries
lighter than air

The reasons why I struggle
The reasons why I cry
will be so light that they just
float away

I'm gonna make all my fears
lighter than nothing

All the questions
All the doubts
will be so small that the wind just
carries them off

Perhaps things are still uneasy
and storms and troubles brew
Maybe things are still unsettled
and the tomorrow is unsure

But at the moment
I'm tired of worries 
and I'm tired of fears
For the things I can't help or change

Besides
the world will turn on it's course 
just as life will go on as it wills
And the only control I'll have in all this
will be over me

So I'm gonna make 
all my worries
and all my fears
so light
and so small
That they can't weight me down


"I'll tell you how the sun rose
A ribbon at a time..." - Emily Dickinson

The suggestion is the answer, enjoy instead of worry.

Here, Here! And I love the determination to make the visualization reality! *S*

Lovely-ly-ly-ly, Aenea!  I think this should be put to music and sung in churches and temples of all faiths as a joyous hymn all around the world - what changes it would bring in the lives of individuals and communities, and ultimately in little pockets of the world - and oh, how wonderful if those little pockets would spread wide!  "What a wonderful world" we would have!
