Hardest Discipline

Hardest discipline is
to ratchet down anxiety
when world whirls by
demands high stakes,
decisions, leaves
loose ends frayed.
To rachet down anxiety
is hardest discipline.

  4. Oh so true, Victoria. You expressed it well in this poem. Too bad there isn't a "ratchet down" button to push when anxiety overwhelms. I could use one.
