In the complicated world we are all navigating these days, it is easy to forget the few, essential baby steps, every human needs to find their equilibrium.

I am not above or beyond needing to remember my own baby steps. All of us get thrown off course and often, a simple course correction; an attitude adjustment; a reminder to take a baby step instead of giant leaps might be all that is needed.

I wrote this poem to remind myself and perhaps remind those of you who might read this poem of the few essential baby steps to take today; this week and every day we can we feel like a downward spiral is just ahead.

Sometimes in a complicated world, we need to remember the simple things to stay alive.

Hoping this might help!

Steve
