I am surprised at how little I care.

I once used to believe that it was my duty

To be disturbed by the wickedness of the world.

I no longer feel that way.

It is not my duty to be disturbed by anything.  

It is not my business.

And I no longer expect to change the world

By letting it disturb the heaven 

That lives inside of me.

I trust God with the world that he has created.

I believe that he knows what he is doing.

And paradoxically, I find

That I am better able to help the little world around me

By remaining undisturbed.
