Why It's Important To Stay Centered

Hi, folks. My name is Nick the poet, and I want to talk to you about staying centered. So I think it's really important to stay centered and, you know, stay grounded, especially in these times that we live in. And one thing that helps me with that is poetry and writing. It helps me to, you know, process emotions and process complex thoughts and, you know, find a new road, whether that's a road of the spirit, a road of the mind, a road of the heart. And I wrote this poem back in 2022. And it goes, I caught a faint whiff of tobacco smoke in my nostrils.

I looked to my left and noticed an old man smoking a pipe, leaning against an oak tree and feeding a deer with some corn from his hand. I began to walk his way, and the deer gently bounded up the trail, the whitetail signaling joyful retreat. The old man looked at me, puffed his pipe, and said, the tree of life connects us all. Drop the strife and have a ball. It's not about standing tall or following the call or doing or fortunes or boldness. You've got to get small, metaphorically is all. To drop the ego and drop the act and take off the mask.

It's 2022, and if we don't work together, we're all through. But don't worry, my friend, I can see around the bend. We're all dancing by the banks of the river, by the tree of life with smiles on our faces and sunshine in our hearts. I hope you enjoyed that poem, and I hope you're having enjoyable week. And if you're not, remember, reach out to somebody, ask for help. We're all in this together and you can do it. You can absolutely do it. Okay, talk to you later.
