The Drum of the Humdrum

Some days we hear only the drum of the humdrum. ~ Karen Casey (Each Day a New Beginning, Aug. 28)

So what's wrong with extremes?
In Revelation the church at Laodicea
was chided for being neither hot nor cold.
The Big Book talks like it's a good
not to be in danger of excitement,
fear, anger, worry – why excitement?
It's lot's more fun than boring, normal.
Normal scares me. Normal dares me.
But then again, excitement can be tense,
and relaxed is good, sometimes.
But the drum of the humdrum —
catchy tune, it can be. So when I rest
in good hands, maybe excitement does
fit with fear.
