The Silkworm Knows Not

Why would I be bothered if my chair broke-
There are other chairs.
Why fret if I don't pay my taxes
to fund death around the world?
There are other payers.
Why would I grieve so deeply for me
if I heard “Two months at most” -
There are others to continue in this plane.
The chair replaced.
The taxes get paid.
The soul moves on to a different experience.
I won't mourn if my vessel springs a leak
any more than the silkworm creating a tapestry. `

I like these message here. Keep calm, and don't worry. Why? Because if you loose your cool, you only make things worse. I appreciate you pushing me in my writes as well. I will make adjustments.

Best,

Fox

This is exactly what I needed to hear/read. The concept is sound, but I struggle to accept this in my life. That things are not so bad that I should wallow in it. Thank you Invierno
