So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. ~Matthew 6:34
Sudan often shapes my thoughts.
I have these cousins in Kansas
who are squatters in their own house.
They can't pay the mortgage.
They're going to be foreclosed upon
soon.
At least they're living in a house, not a tent,
Sudan says.
But--I can hear my cousins answer--the fear.
We are in the house now,
but who knows when our roof
will be lifted away.
You have the house today,
says Sudan.
Live in it today. Tomorrow doesn't exist.

wow.
I read this to my older brother yesterday. As our family faces this new consciousness of our mortality - it is easy to be consumed by fear of what tomorrow may bring. Thisgave us some well needed perspective on how to get peace. Thnx, Robyn.
I'm humbled, Tiara. But I'm glad that my words brought you some measure of comfort.
This, is your most incredible writing yet. Amazing.
Quite beautiful
