Boundaries

My buddy Chagall's work
which always cheers me up!

When one's boundaries
have been violated young,
resulting in a suburban sprawl
(like no other)

Reclaiming  them when one is old(er)
is a task of
Herculean proportions.

Each step is evaluated,
each request...
daunting,

each moment
pondered.



When Saint Ignatius says:
Teach us to give without counting the cost

and

Shel Silverstein says
give it all away in the
Giving Tree

(a book that has always annoyed me)

Balancing the boundaries
of everyday life can
be confusing.
