When I'm sad

I like to think of the sky

It's so open

When I feel weighed down

I like to think of a plant

It knows how to just be

Just be in whatever arrives

Like the sky

Blue

Like the plant

Green

Lovely

Simplicity

Thanks Hélène. A friend who liked writing poetry advised me with this acronym: KISS, “keep it simple, stupid!”
