CLOSEUP! Take a picture!

CLOSEUP

(Written on August 27, 2017)

(In Jason Stephenson´s site where he announced a photo contest, I wrote, ¨I am more interested in getting to the right people than in winning a prize!  A woman answered, ¨What do you mean by right people? ¨ I wrote back, ¨I think I mean the people who can be really interested in positive actions for the World and all of Creation¨.     The woman responded, ¨Oh, ok, I am but with no car and with chronic pain I can´t get around to take pictures anymore so most of my pictures are around my house now.  Thank you for explaining.¨ After this conversation, at about 5:30 a.m., I woke up with the idea for the following poem!  For Phyllis!)

Sometimes doing nothing is the best action to take!

Like not driving so as to not contaminate!

Often the closest beauty goes unperceived,

And the most impossible is at hand, yet to be believed.

It is advisable when hurt, stay close, take a  perspective look;

It could even be time to read a good book!

Probably, the most efficient answer is a sincere prayer…

And let others know you are there, and really care!
