I have a plan for tomorrow and will face it. For now have a poem found at a comm here on dreamwidth, [community profile] poetry, Ashie pointed me to it. This poem clicked for me today.

Clearing
by Martha Postlethwaite

Do not try to save
the whole world
or do anything grandiose.
Instead, create
a clearing
in the dense forest
of your life
and wait there
patiently,
until the song
that is yours alone to sing
falls into your open cupped hands
and you recognize and greet it.
Only then will you know
how to give yourself
to this world,
so worthy of rescue.
