Scrub scrub scrub

Sometimes when I worry on a global level

I need a break from thinking

And although I didn't intend to spend my Sunday as such

I focused on that which I could control

And launched a cleaning attack on part of the house

Which involved crevice tools and step stools

Exhausted I fell upon the couch

Smelling that clean smell and listening to the thunder roll in the darkness outside

Not that cleaning had solved the world's problems

It cleared the logjam in my head

And a knowing replaced the worry

Before I went to bed

I found this cool video in my email

That felt like the Universe was patting my hand

And saying, 'we'll be fine'

This morning this was waiting for me from Whitebison.org

"There are things man has control over, and there are things man does not have control over. No matter how smart we get, whether it be in technology or science, there are things we will never control. The Great Spirit carefully protected and hid the control over certain things in the Unseen World. There are forces in the Unseen World that make sure humans don't mess things up.
The bottom line is, no matter what we do, nature will have the last say.
 Nature is the teacher, we are the students..."

sorry about the quality; taken with phone Friday evening

And because I probably don't say it enough

Thanks for all your comments

Y'all rock
