Anxiety

Is it just me or is there a lot of anxiety in the air?  Four lines came to mind this morning:

From Max Ehermann’s Desiderata:  “Do not distress yourself with imaginings.”

From Matthew 6:34:  “Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.”

From Bobby McFerrin: “Don’t worry.  Be happy.”

From Baz Luhman’s Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen): “Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.”

I’ll get some Double Bubble on the way to work this morning.
