Sometimes when I wake up at 3 in the morning I quietly pad down the carpeted stairs, light a candle, sit with a cup of soothing tea and write.
Such was the case on one particular night.
This is what I wrote:
Welcome to the Land of Worry! There’s a wide variety of sites to visit. We have the Fatal Illnesses over here, gnawing regrets over there, and, close by; the Crippling Sudden Accidents, to name a few.
Take your time! In fact, there IS no time in the Land of Worry. Only eternity.
You see, each one of these sites comes with the special package of a ‘timeless add-on’. You will be lifted out of normal time and enter the ‘ never ending’.
Let’s proceed to Chronic Painful Conditions…there’s a huge array: every organ, every body part is available.You can choose for yourself, and/or for
a loved one-as you like.
The best time to visit is 3 a.m.
This is when our choices are most abundant. You can easily hop from one site to another. And…there is no price for admission! It’s all free for the taking.
The more frequently you visit the
Land of Worry the more quickly you will become an Honored Guest.
With this elevated status your experiences will deepen and become more complete!
The gates to the Land of Worry will be wide open for you to enter with ease.
No need to find a key, or even to knock.
So….will we see you tonight,
in the wee hours?I often share my writing with my sister.
She’s always honest; it’s either a chuckle, or a “meh”. This got a chuckle… She asked, “what are you worried about?”
My response (just being playful)
was a poem:
Why Worry
by anonymous
“There are only two things to worry about,
either you are healthy or you are sick. If you are healthy then there is nothing to worry about. But if you are sick there are only two things to worry about, either you will get well or you will die. If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you die there are only two things to worry about, either you will go to heaven, or to hell. If you go to heaven, then there is nothing to worry about. And if you go to hell, you’ll be so busy shaking hands with old friends you won’t have time to worry!”
Humor. Oh gosh, we must have humor!
(Regardless…will we see you later?)
