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
Passion...unbridled
