Poem Artwork


... In the event of
an actual emergency,
life would have given
you detailed instructions on what
to do.  None of this
running around like a chicken
with its head cut off,
none of this panicky search for
shelter that does not
exist, none of this worrying
that does no good in
the first place ... let me enlighten
you:  turn off the news.
Step away from the TV.  The
reporters have this
chaos theory all figured out.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (5/16)

That has worked for me. Upon rare occassion and mostly in the winter when I was watching for our latest snow storm, do I watch the news or any tv really. sometimes I'll catch a movie on hbo yet my favorite channels are history, tlc and animal planet. I can't even watch cartoons. I'll put on the new age sirus channel and write/read or just watch the birds outside my windows. Lady J

Karla, My memory verse this week is: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee." Yup! I don't waste time with the newspaper, radio, or TV (news or sitcoms). I don't like being forced into depression. Great write!

Peace and love
Lena :)
