flight, not much stresses me out, but a few years ago i had a couple of horrible experiences in airports and I have never recovered; man those folks made some bad decisions, but I’m still grateful they turned out the way they did. that be the case or not, i still panic before flying, what if our 1:25 minutes isn’t long enough between flights? what if we dont make it? what if that delays us several days? am i going to arrive mentally whole? i tend to panic. panic. panic and shake.

poetry

there are always things to worry about
there is never good reason to worry
and yet here i am quivering in my shoes
attempting to control my blood sugar
so my brain chemistry maintains itself
drinking my last beer for days
before my mind allows my body to shut down
panic, fear, more quivering.
there are always things to worry about
there is never good reason to worry
“behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened
that it cannot save
or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;”
i ask
i fear
i am not heard
there are always things to worry about
there is never good reason to worry
