Simplification

Two more weeks at the Clinic.  It is time to leave.  It is really time ... to leave.  Not the Clinic, exactly, but the mental health system there.  Not the people, exactly, but rather, the system.   This morning brought one more complication.  Heal yourself! I say to the system in place:  Heal yourself!  

Now is the time
To simplify.
My life experiences
Simply
Do not fit
On any one piece of paper
Or even
In a book.
Now is the time
To simplify,
To drop experiences
Like bread crumbs
Through the forest
So they may feed the birds
A whole grain diet.
Now is the time
To simplify,
To do what needs to be done
Now,
Not bother
With the catalog.
Now is the time
To feed the birds,
To simplify,
Simply
To simplify.
