Looking Outward

justam

turning my attention outward
it is rewarding in some ways
and more challenging in others
to sort through the difficult social currents
and focus on what's happening here and now
with all these people I used to skim past
(distracted by my dream stream)
truly not noticing them
surely not worrying about them!
open my eyes and look
and now I can be part
of the whole flowing river at work
it's new...
wondering about their stories
instead of my own
