I think
like with all things
All things life
We tend to move fast
The days go slow
But everything seems to be in a rush to the next thing
The next appointment
The next meal
The next place
Tonight
Tomorrow
Memorial Day
Labor Day
Rosy’s birthday
There’s always another thing coming
what we don’t see enough is the standing still in the moment and digesting it —
appreciate or evaluate it and optimize the lessons to be had if you’ll only allow yourself to ;
Was I good
Was I bad
Did I give my best or just my all?
Was it for me, or worse all for them?
did I care ?
Did they?
In any case
My lessons were like this/

I gave too much and resented you for it
Until giving you nothing made me sick and I gave some more
Just not too much
More like where I could fill in the gaps
But watching others blatantly turn their head and always seem to miss the memo- it started to seem intentional, ignorant.
this also sickened me
but I love you all
I just can’t take everyone along the way with me
if I do I’ll spend this life explaining at every turn ;why I am so. -
And not spend it how I should- naturally and intentionally, filled with a feeling of genuine love
When you are, you allow others to be
A saying that goes further than 8 words.
It says to me: when you are lovingly yourself, it inspires me to meet you there
Free of fear and judgment
Filled with humble servitude
In kindergarten, in the fundamentals, we learned to leave things better than we found them- to take care of our belongings- the planet, and to be respectful of the adults.
well we are all adults but. we don’t always take care of our belongings, let alone the belongings of our peers, and forget to mention our wellbeing, let alone theirs. (don’t even get me started on feelings)so the bleeding of a bad habit seems to stain everything it touches.
We must serve as a reminder to take care of ourselves and our lives.
Remember:
If I failed myself, I will fail you.
Do not let each other down.
Nobody will be there to catch you if you do this.
and you cannot be perfect at everything.
that is why we need each other and our differences.
And when you see somebody fall behind, you can love them enough to call their name and like a light guide them with your voice in the right directions. take the call out as a form of love & redirection, do not be discouraged by the light, instead turn your body openly to the support waiting for you to understand its purpose. Only then are we able to meet each other at a place of service.
But if I met you there today, thank you for being there too. It can be lonely when nobody loves like you.
