Today's Haiku prompt also reminded me of a poem which has been the screensaver on my desktop computer for the past few months.It's a meaningful reminder to pause when I start up my computer, and reflect on the poem for a moment before I launch into computer busyness.
The Way It Is
by William Stafford
There’s a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn’t change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it you can’t get lost.
Tragedies happen; people get hurt
or die; and you suffer and get old.
Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding.
You don’t ever let go of the thread.
