THE MIDDLE WAY
THE MIDDLE WAY
What’s there
I cannot discern
If I draw back too far
But then on the other hand
If I let myself be drawn in too far
I now can see only a meaningless blur
Recall, my friend … in all things … Balance
Recall, my friend … in all things … Avoid extremes
Recall, my friend … in all things … Find the middle way

Good reminder on avoiding extremes, finding the middle way!
(With the first two verses I thought it was about wearing bifocals, lol! But maybe that’s a good analogy – the best vision for most things is through the middle of the lens.)
Most worrying of all to me are those who choose to be wittingly blind. Ah, I have so far to go still to overcome worry.
Be like water….
Good advice.
