Changing the Subject

From negative to positive.

At night, the crush of the day hovers in my room. Did I act rightly? Was it enough?

Behind my door, regrets pile up.

Dawn comes and I walk. The land has transformed and the spreading day provides new views. At night I peered into corners. At dawn my eyes fall on unfurling buds, on dewy grass, on the coursing river.

Later at home, I can bring a new view to my cares. The solutions present themselves. Is this what Providence feels like?

My walk has changed the subject.

Consider:

If I am troubled, would a walk do me good?
