Are we Semi-Detached?

SEMI-DETACHED
 
It’s obvious to all of us
how the tasks, worries and
responsibilities of daily life
can wear us down.
 
We also know from experience
that these all pass in due course,
but still we get overcome at times
with the demands upon us.
 
It is in the quieter moments
when life is less hectic
that we appreciate the peace and
gentleness that lies beneath everything.
 
This is where we really belong.
And so, our daily focus must be
to stay semi-detached and balance
being busy in our world and quiet in ourselves.
