BANANA SANDWICH by Fiona Goodwin

I started today
Watching a documentary about the Holocaust
Then I read about Chadwick Bozeman the black panther
Who will never get to be as old as me
I listened to the news in Portland
I realised I was headed in a not so great direction
My inner landscape was crying out
‘All these terrible things are true
I can’t ignore them can I?’
But what is also true
Is where I put my attention
Where I set my intention
I have to feel better
I Released myself from the belief that being well-informed and
Facing facts
Was The higher truth
I softened
I raise my vibration
I must be kind to my embattled mind
I made myself a banana sandwich
