Defining Lagom (New Poem by Polly Castor)
Be content in your sufficiency, avoiding any binge or bust cycle, with only tiny conscious moves,
Be content in your sufficiency, avoiding any binge or bust cycle, with only tiny conscious moves,
Endless possibilities bewilder while narrowed options focus fresh opportunities. Limit yourself to just do a painting
Doing more is way more potent than knowing more or obtaining more.
Don’t despair. Be more conscious and aware. Move carefully, cautiously.
Lean on each other…
Words and thoughts may be only the slightest ways to pray.
Let all that and infinitely more surge through you. Let that govern your being. Let that sustain you through it all. Let that determine your destiny.
God is a joiner, like a carpenter, splicing together mitered corners, with flush, beautiful transitions, meeting together just right.
Let your feelings of inadequacy melt into adrenaline-charged obedience. Your convulsive little ego must not be given reign.
The opposite of old is not young. The opposite of old is new.
I do believe in hard work, and in the luminous beauty of ordinariness.
The air is moist, and the almost sultry breeze is laden with the fragrance of soil so scrumptious, it invites gestation…
So many are thinking in terms of creative 100 day projects, but how about a lifetime one?
Resist by insisting on being happy, regardless.
