Calm amid Chaos

My life seems to be a continuing exercise

In finding calm amid chaos, to crystallize

Into something concrete every positive emotion

To find quietude in the midst of commotion..

*

In a typical day of rushing between patients, I try

To focus on the genuine human interactions that remind me why

I am privileged to practice medicine, despite the increasing hurdles we face

Such moments of clarity allow me to embrace

The chaotic nature of the work that I do

When things seem out of control, they help me power through

*

Each morning it seems I am galvanized

In a flurry of activity, trying to stay organized

In a time crunch is no ordinary task for me

And in the midst of multitasking, albeit inefficiently

When my son interrupts me to share something he is excited about

I pause, and listen-it is the best grounding exercise without doubt

*

Life is fast-paced and chaotic, but I must find

Moments to center myself, and calm my hyperactive mind
