When I Pack My Bag



When I pack by bag for a journey of 

10 minutes there and back, it is for all

the things to do on my short journey. 

In my bag will be my laptop, the book 

I am presently reading, tissues, pens, 

a small notebook and in the side pocket, 

my little green thermos of water. On the 

way home there will be space for celery, 

tomatoes or maybe a box of tea 

    ~ nothing too heavy ~

  much lighter than carrying 

  the world on my shoulders. 



“Choose a subject equal to your abilities; think carefully what your 

shoulders may refuse, and what they are capable of bearing.”

~ Horace
