not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.

Likewise, your mind often appears to have its own will.
That incessant chattering of regret, disappointment, guilt,
shame, foreboding, worry, and fear
is your Rattlesnake Mind striking off on its own.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
