The Joy of the Wandering Mind

Every day my mind goes for a wander, To see a new wonder, A new perspective to consider, New challenges to ponder. Every day my mind goes on ahead, To check out the roads I will soon tread, So I can face them without dread, With only joy in my heart and my head. Every day my mind finds a side road, Or even takes me off road, Where there is space to re-arrange my load, Before I explode. Every day when my mind starts to fade from work overload, It is back on the road, With some work on hold before I call my boss a toad, And I have fewer meals to behold. Every day my mind goes for a wander, With no GPS to confuse or hinder My getting home for dinner, With my appetite a winner.

Great write, David, I too am a huge fan of letting my mind sneak off through a crack in my everyday life. Always comes back with something interesting. Regards, Viv

A wondering mind is a philosophic mind searching to find the hidden truth that the Lord has placed in each individual thing! Loved your poem dearest, David! Good to see you again!

And you too Demetrios. Will be doing some more readings for local community radio on Saturday morning. We are lucky to still have it. Strong communities my friend. Always part of Gods plan. God is only true central power. Hope you are treating yourself kindly my friend. Regards David.
