Try

11/2/21

When we get stuck on trying,

Expending all of our effort on trying to try,

We never do. 

Doing isn’t hard.

But we never learn that

If we make a mountain out of trying to do. 

Thinking we are pursuing a worthy ideal

When we are only treading water. 

Treading water can save your life. 

But most of the time,

It’s just exhausting. 

So be willing to be willing. 

Try to try. 

But you won’t get there 

Until you do.
