Thank G-D For The Ordinary Mind Poem by Shalom Freedman

THANK G-D FOR THE ORDINARY MIND

Thank G-d for the ordinary mind
The mind that is not on edge and in depression
The mind that is not repelled from itself
The mind that does not feels each instant of consciousness
As hurt and regret
The mind that can focus on other things
And not on its own sanity
The mind that lives in most people most of the time
The ordinary mind
Please G-d may I have this ordinary mind
And not the threatening one I have also known.
