Making a Life
You, with soul & character
deep & clear as a mountain lake
without glacial till: you harbor
empathy & compassion for others.
Are you treating yourself
with empathy & compassion?
Don’t be concerned
about “making a living.”
Work at what you’re passionate about,
at what’s most important for you.
Toil & work, tarry & play
at making a life, a life that matters.
