Step Back Poem by Elena Plotkin

elena, i'll try to remember this one: step back, step back, step back step back, step back. maybe i can recommend it to someone else someday. in fact i have one person, no, two people in mind....make that three! two on PH and one 'lost' stepdaughter! ! step back from the car, said the cop to bri. :) bri

i don't understand this poem. I QUIT! ! ! ! but seriously, which is sometimes difficult for me to 'do', i like it, though it isn't my bag exactly. i mean i kind of fall into some important decisions in my life, without much planning, and not always much thought; too much thinking can be bad for you! didn't you know that! ? ok, dealing and understanding are more like the things i end up doing or trying, especially the 'dealing' part. but sometimes quitting IS the solution. remember that. and that must be true since i'm much older than you are, so i MUST BE much wiser! right? i like the repetition of stanza one, and the subsequent suggestion for living. bri :)

Don't be in a hurry, take a little time to observe and take things in. That is the problem with most of us we always seem to be in a hurry. Sit back take it easy and then go forward with great expectancy ti see what is up ahead. An inspiring write.

Elena Sandu has echoed my thoughts. Taking a step back to see the world revealing itself has great wisdom in it. Don't ever give up and quit! ! ! A command for all of us to obey!

Wise poem, powerful, great wisdom taught! Yes indeed step back take time to breathe, than observe and feel how a relaxing world itself in kind color would reveal. Another gem, thank you for share!
