The World is Too Much With Us

THE WORLD IS TOO M UCH WITH US; LATE AND SOON,GETTING AND SPENDING, WE LAY WASTE TO OUR POWERS; LITTLE WE SEE IN NATURE THAT IS OURS; WE HAVE GIVEN OUR HEARTS AWAY- A SORDID BOON. I have this poem tacked up on my wall. I don't know who wrote it, but it reminds me of priority- of the mistake we often make of spending all of our energy and hearts on 'stuff'. We are deceived into spending our very soul on things that really don't matter in the larger scheme of things. Many times, we get caught up in life and stuff and are taken by them- as a swiftly moving river might catch up a branch and move it with relentless fury downstream. I often feel like that- that things are out of my control. Yet, every once in awhile I move into quieter waters and I have a chance to reflect about where I am headed.
