The Flow of Life

by William S Cottringer — Read all 146 poems by William S Cottringer

Life is a flow between spreading chaos and restoring order.

Tuesday, August 31, 2004

The Flow of Life


 


Life is a flow you know;


Back and forth


Between chaos and order.


Take things apart;


Divide the world into


This or that, yes or no.


Study, analyze, predict.


The result?


Under-diagnosed problems,


Over-simplified answers.


No progress.


No satisfaction.


Unrest and a mess.


The answer?


Focus on self—


Using strengths


and right behavior;


being positive and serving.


Putting things back together,


Making things whole and


Giving peace to your soul.

Delightful!
One was always considered selfish,
when they thought of themselves.
That was years ago. I think back then,
we missed the the point completely.
Refreshing message. A true one.

Love, Bonnie
