Focusing mellow thoughts
Keeping them low
Carefully worried
The focus will grow
Into stressful thoughts
So much a part of life
They are always there
Providing added strife
So mellow I am seeking
Restive sideways thinking
Bypassing stressful things
Seeking deep insight
About my inner self
But past the on edge nature
Past the type A self
Searching for the mellow
Pondering that myself
Speaking to the little elf
Who sits inside alone
Aching to tell me
Secrets....

Hi Paul..
As they say.."don't sweat the small stuff".
Gee you sound like a type A personality like me.
So easy to sit and think, and as they tell me,
'make mountains out of molehills'.
We need to meditate and relax more.
Excellent write m'friend.

Paul...I love this!  How did I miss it?

These words:

"carefully worried"

and

"Speaking to the little elf
Who sits inside alone
Aching to tell me
Secrets...."

Lovely...really.  Let that elf out...I want to hear those secrets!!

I'm doing that exactly now -- and do it often. There's a scene in my mind at this moment, that I have visited more times than I can guess...one private, personal moment when the worldrush didn't matter at all.

I love your sideways thoughts, Goodknight!  Ya don't mind if I dust off a shelf in the library for this do you?  I don't think I could be a Type A-it takes too much work!

Wouldn't it be terrific if could ward off stress with some garlic or something.  Hm...
Garlic, onions, ...maybe we'd become unapproachable by the nasty villain!

It's great to read you again!

Did it again.  I'm so absent minded that I forgot to place this in my library.

There, now it's all tucked away!

Yes, we do all need those "mellow thoughts".
