Taking a Missed Flight Too Seriously
By Don Iannone

Missed flight.
Needless fretting
...about wanting reality to be
...something other than what it is.
How much does it matter
...that my plane is not on time?
How much say should the clock
really have on my life?
Fretting and time just
...make us forget
...who we really are.
They just cause us to stumble
...through the same trap door
...we always fall through
...when we want things
...to be other than what they are.
Beware
...the mind plays tricks on us
...through its many trap doors
...leading nowhere
...other than where we are.
What difference does a missed flight
...really make
...in the larger scheme of things?
After all
...the biggest missed opportunity in life
...is thinking
...there was something
...to miss in the first place.
