A Spiritual Jitterbug

 

Some people rush around from teacher to teacher and center to center, sometimes going to half a dozen different places in a week, until their minds are in complete chaos. No one gets anywhere through this sort of thing. Such people are not students of metaphysics—they are spiritual jitter-bugs. ~ Fox, Emmet. Find and Use Your Inner Power (p. 123). New Albany. Kindle Edition.

We have learned in the society
to which we were accustomed
before our hibernation and social distancing
to flitter like bees or butterflies
searching for the perfect tidbit,
the ideal treat. If anything good
has come from this crisis
surely it is the opportunity
to evaluate, to examine, to discriminate among
the possible interests attracting us.
Perhaps we have learned to give activities a chance
before jitter-bugging to the next treasure to catch our eyes!
