saying yes

sometimes i want to huddle into a tiny ball and not let any world in
but then i would just be a little salty olive

then there are other times when i think i should go cold turkey quit my job and depend on the good lord to give me enough gigs to keep me employed
but then again there is little joy or productivity in putting blinders on yourself

i think if self is determined by both nature and nurture
it is my responsibility to nurture my nature by saying yes


the final question
can yes ever be detrimental

thank you e e cummings for paving the way for this post
