Never Trouble Trouble

Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.

Worry is like that: it arrives uninvited,

then asks you to set the table,

then brings friends.

One thought leans into the next.

A maybe becomes a what if.

A what if becomes a storm rehearsed a hundred times

before a single drop has fallen.

Worry begets worry.

It multiplies in the quiet,

borrows tomorrow’s fears,

and charges interest on things that never happen.

Yet most trouble passes by unnoticed

when we don’t call it by name.

It fades when it isn’t fed,

shrinks when it isn’t believed.

So let today be enough.

Let trouble knock before you open the door.

And if it never comes,

let peace have the room it deserves.
