Somethingness

A beauty in a meadow
Screaming charisma and hope
Supine with a poppy
Dreams and a rope

I sat at her side
Shadowing the glade
A shuddering angst
Our promises made

No matter the barrage
The sunless days
Our journey is one
Through seperate ways

Inhale your sighs
Expel light and love
A union of hope
Lives in a glove

Life Lessons


I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent, but not that smart.  Even somewhat foolish at times.

I read the above meme and the sentiments within really resonated with me.  I was quite struck by it.  Eventually, the penny has dropped.

It's not only that you need to associate with people who add to your growth; I now realise that you have to actively dissociate from those that don't.  There is a huge disparity between those two positions.

In the last two weeks, I have adopted that approach with three people that I had come to know, all in different ways.  No doubt there will be others.  I feel not poorer, but emotionally richer for doing so.  To the three, thank you for the life lesson and good luck on your journey.
