The Wisdom of Not Being Industrious

In this short poem, a morning walk around the lake gets C.M. thinking about doing versus not-doing, action versus non-action.

"The Wisdom of Not Being Industrious" originally appeared in Orbis Literary Journal in England, before making its way into C.M.'s poetry collection How To Carry Soup (Homebound Publications, 2020).
