"After A While"
After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
You learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't mean security.
You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises.
You begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead,
with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child.
You learn to build all your roads on today,
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans,
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure,
that you really are strong,
and that you really do have worth.
And you learn, and you learn,
with every goodbye you learn...

"Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry - all forms of fear- are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence" - Eckhart Tolle

Although my opinions may not reflect the mass majority in the World today, it is my hope, that we will continue to allow each other to be independent, share what we can with each other, and possibly learn something from one another. May we all get better from here!
"Please remember if I were to die there would be no further reply. But if there were, I'd hope it to say.."Thank you, Goodbye,and have a creative day!"
Sincerely,
