does the sparrow
count
her worth,
in seeds found,
at the end of the day?
a tallying of
numbers
lining up
with avian goals
to achieve,
until
the figures
nod
approval to
her
existence,
or does she simply
rest,
content,
with full belly
in her warm nest,
a life
lived.
— (self)worth.

I have been working on my internal dialogue — the driven personality that seeks to find (my) worth in what I do.
A counting of what I can tick off my to-do list at the end of the day and only once that list is long enough, full enough, allowing myself the pat on the back, the well done.

Yes, I do this too, all while craving the contentment of the trees or the birds or the squirrels.

It’s a hard one to break free from, I think.
