A working world,
So meshed with character and strive,
A working world,
So hidden from the vibration of life,
A working world,
So mesmerized by the energy it takes to fly,
A working world,
Gifting you with life,
A working world,
Confusion sets in,
A working world,
Deepening the extremities of each life.

The Strive and Strain of the Working World
In “Working World,” we explore the relentless motion of our daily lives, where work often overshadows the subtle vibrations of simply living.

This poem delves into the paradox of striving and thriving, questioning how much of our energy is consumed by the drive to achieve, and at what cost to our inner peace.

It speaks to the universal experience of navigating the demands of the working world—where clarity often gives way to confusion, and the extremities of existence are deepened by the weight of expectation.

This piece serves as both a reflection and a gentle reminder: amidst the ceaseless pursuit of goals, there lies a need to reconnect with the quieter, often overlooked aspects of life.

Let’s take a moment to ponder the balance between ambition and tranquility, and how we might rediscover the life that vibrates beneath the surface of our everyday routines.
