If you ducked when you read the title of this post
then you misunderstood.
There is no "!" and,
therefore,
no imminent danger.
There is nothing to worry about.
What I was intending
was to have you -
wherever you might be -
look around you
and take notice of things.
We spend a lot of time
looking up to
or down at
people and things around us.
It might be fun to just look at
and to accept
whatever is happening at our level.
Our perspective
changes throughout our lives.
But regardless of where we are
there are others at the same point.
The news today told us that
unemployment is at a 40 year high
and that the area that I live in
is above the national average.
Did they think we hadn't noticed?
All we have to do is look out
and see others
in the same place
looking back at us.
I did duck -- thanks for the correction and the reminder to be aware of what's happening all around me.
