Too often, I experience the great fullness of life as overwhelming. How will I do everything I have to get done today? Dog hair, unread magazines, kids’ dirty socks, etc., all seem to have little tiny faces to taunt me about ever keeping my environment anything close to… restfulness…. And that’s not even mentioning the paper piles, each beckoning me to spend time with them. -Meg Riley (CLF)
When have you been overwhelmed by abundance?
Here is a little song of mine…what I do when I feel overwhelmed. Take a listen:

AMONG THE BRANCHES
(c) 2023 Wendy Luella Perkins (UU minister in Kingston ON Canada)
when the woes of the world
weigh down on me
and it’s too much to bear
i find myself the nearest tree
and lean my body there
simply lean
and breathe
among the branches
simply breathe
and lean
among the branches
