“The Bare Minimum”
By Ashley O’Hare
It’s not enough
to do the bare minimum.
If every individual
followed only the paved paths,
we would have no adventures;
no new discoveries.
Take your time.
Climb a tree
and enjoy a shift in perspective.
Find a pond
and swim in a moment of peace.
Live your life.
Don’t waste your time
only surviving.
