It was inconvenient
when the power
went out today.
A great swath of the city
went dark.
No way to boil water
for coffee - it was time!
No TV - a program interrupted,
no radio…….a video call planned
with a friend for a long distance chat.
What to do?
no heat,
no hot water,
no light except
from cloudy skies.
There was no room for me to pout
only room for me to be grateful
that I had water, light and a big sweater,
a roof over my head and safety.
I enjoyed a good chat with my friend,
in the quiet of my home,
using my cell phone.
“He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.”
~ Lao Tzu
