Becoming a person
in this world full of
discord and aggressive voices,
a person who wants
the noise to be softened,
is easy.
Become the person
who turns off the TV and
all the social media voices,
and steps outside where
the juncos chirp and chat.
Maybe a squirrel chitters from
his perch as a car splashes by.
Becoming a person who enjoys
life in the real world
really can be a quiet easy.
“The lesson being that in life you control what you can.”
~ Michelle Obama, Becoming
