Have you noticed,
as the world opens up we get smaller?
Seems to be the case.
Does expanding vastness scare the mind,
causing attention to shrink back in fear.
A wet wool sweater on a warm summer day
tightens with comfort as heat wicks moisture away.
The danger of choice constricts.
What we say ‘yes’ to diminishes.
What we say ‘no’ to increases.
