The Fortune Teller Tells Me

author’s note:

Physician, heal thyself.
          -- ancient proverb

THE FORTUNE TELLER TELLS ME

In fear, we nearly destroy our life here--
fearing for our survival
we infect cities, forests, fields, and seas.

Then fearing for survival
we find the strength we need
to resurrect our world.

So her crystal ball does offer some hope.

But I tell her
I think I’d feel better
if I could do more to help
during these feverish times.

The fortune teller then tells me:
you could resurrect yourself.
