A YEARNING FOR ROUTINE; A YEARNING FOR CHANGE

Whether it’s a trip abroad,

A cruise

A week on the Colorado River

Or easy stuff like Snowbird and St. George;

Even lunch out with friends

A simple meeting; a convention;

Anything that gets me out of my routine;

I always wish I hadn’t planned to go.

I get anxious

And yearn desperately for normalcy.

I love it so.

It’s so cozy and safe.

Yet, eventually,
when normal routine is restored
There is a yearning
For the stimulation of a symposium;
The awe of a mountain musical;
A chat with friends;
Trips both long and short;

dinner out.
A restlessness with routine

After relinquishing it reluctantly.

What?
No place to go today?
Time for exercises?
Tedious.
