When the gloom & doom

of daily life

with all its sufferings

descends upon me

like a heavy weight,

I stop myself & think,

"hey, wait a minute,

don't you remember,

this is a temporary experience,

you are spirit

in human form temporarily,

so take a deep breath,

stir up the air a bit

with your dancing arms,

and relax.

"All is well,

all is well,

with your soul."

And that's all that really matters, ultimately.
