Thought for today:

‘I am the undertow
Washing tides of power
Battering the pillars
Under your things of high law.’

— Carl Sandburg

It is funny the things you learn along the journey of life.

Many years ago I had a high school physics textbook with a poem on the title page.

I have thought about that poem often, I still do today.

It was ‘Under’ by Carl Sandburg, and this is the first stanza.

I recommend searching for it and reading the rest – it is short and powerful.

I find it gives some perspective to all that we experience.
