Reflective Perspective.

With grace does such distraction drown the level-headed mind.  The illusion of importance sparkles in flecks of stress, like a thousand pinhole cameras pointed at an eclipse.  The grandiosity, like a floating bloated ego, squeezes its hot air into the room, and all of a sudden it's crowded.   Look how easily one simple thought can occupy a mind.  Worrying is like treading water; for all your effort, you get nowhere.  And when the threats have faded, it is all you can do to stay afloat and not sink from sheer exhaustion.  So take deep breaths.  Deflate that empty presence with action.  Reach out.  Set your goal as the horizon and do not stop until you reach it.
