"Big Me's so light
It's like
The whole plane-planet
Is lighter than a feather
However
little me's so heavy
It's like the Himalayas
Are being carried on my shoulders
Go figure"
Said Atlas

The most interesting blend of the mythical, and the reflective nicely said
Thanks, Soren.
Most welcome
Reminds of the Greek myth of the Titan Atlas. I wonder if that was the inspiration for this piece? Great write
You got it!
Mutley… you got me with this one…that contrast between “big me” and “little me” hits quick and carries. One side light, the other holding everything…that shift lands in a real way. Clever, grounded piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks, Tristan!
Been to the Himalayas! Return trips are desired but still have to have a proper sitdown with Atlas -guess he’s always busy🙏🏻🕊️
Yes, he has his hands full! I`d love to visit the Himalayas.
Highly recommended 🙏🏻🕊️
