Do something

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Free verse
Ah the recluse
Don't sit on your laurels
Flow with the universe
Bend with the breeze
Turn with the tide
Change your routine
Volunteer
Get your hands dirty
Where it all leads...
Reasons
Doubts
Challenges
The adventure of life

    That’s laurels.
    The busier up to a certain point, the more organized, and the more likely to take on redeeming assignments, projects, helps. Some craven or lazy or unimaginative will not get off their butts. Dirty hands will wash. Soiled conscience notsamuch…Wayne Blair
