Prescription for Troubled Times

By Vickilane

Go down to the river and listen to its song . . . Watch it swirl and ripple . . . see how the light dances on its surface . . .

Gather up fears, doubts, anger and put them into that leaf --that one there that just fell into the water . . . it can hold them all . . .

Watch it float away . . .

Watch it out of sight . . . there, they're gone.

Now . . . breathe deep and listen . . . Listen to the river's song.
