Inside Out

Where I live is inside; nothing on the outside changes that. ~ For Today (Kindle Location 272).

Paul said he had learned to be content
anywhere. Anywhere? It didn’t take
imagination to envision dire circumstances.
He was a prisoner. Now sometimes
there’s talk about a Club Fed location,
easy time. Probably not what Paul faced.
How could he be content there?
Addicts like us tend to believe “there”
is better, easier, cooler, warmer, nicer,
more exciting, less stressful…their dream.
But they take themselves “there”
and that’s the crimp in the hose.
If you’re happy where you are,
you’ll be happy “there.” If not, no.
So, be happy. And know since you are
you’ll still be happy when and where
you find yourself. Another word?
Serenity.
