Worry Not

I heard someone on the radio
put forward the theory
that we need to worry
- it keeps the brain active.

I know that over my lifetime
I'll have spent a lot of time
worrying about things that could happen
which, in fact, never did happen.

I think, now, I'm more like this fellow.
I go with the flow.
If the wind chooses to blow
in a direction that ruffles my feathers so
be it.

I don't lean into it.
Why fight it?
I lean away from it
and let it take me
where it thinks I need to go.

Well, that's the theory.
