For those overwhelmed by life

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest.” Matthew 11:28 (The Message)

For those who are feeling overwhelmed by life circumstances I offer this poem by Sufjan Simone.

UNBOUND

Far easier to cover your ears
in a forest brimming with voices
of birds than to seek the one song
that will bring you calm.

Lose your way, be drowned
by sound. Randomness
becomes a pattern all its own.
Know there are paths

Waiting to be found.
Close your eyes. Breathe in
that thick air and learn
to release.

Your foot is not bound by roots.
