Today’s word is “hydra” ... a persistent or many-sided problem that presents new obstacles as soon as one aspect is solved. (Dictionary.com)
Quantify
Ok. It’s true.
This life is a hydra,
heads flying in all directions.
You just get a handle on one thing
And whoosh ... in comes something
new to distract you.
All sorts of entertainment, politics,
employment concerns, sickness,
social shifts happening so fast that
your head spins as well.
And of course, if you care to think
about it, the meaning of your life ...
And to find peace, or distraction,
we watch t.v., eat and drink, shop,
read, do yoga, run, sleep.
Anything to keep the specter of purpose
at bay.
And yet we are magnificently made,
and our world, perfect for our kind.
Strange, we fit here so well
yet long for a place to call home.
