Little Worlds

We all live in our own little worlds.
And if all our little worlds
are very much the same,
we would all think
the big world is just this way too.
And life would run smoothly,
calmly, and utterly drearily.

The trouble is our little worlds
are not at all the same.
And then we think the big world
really is a crazy place.
The thing is it isn’t.
It is big enough to laugh
at all your dramas, remaining
absolutely unmoved by them.

See your own little world,
see others too,
and your view will broaden,
slowly, slowly coming in line
with the way things are.
