The messy moments of life rarely make the final edit to our anthology that is life, but they are just as important as all the rest.
They may not define the shell that everyone sees, but they do to ourselves snd we learn from them all the same, no matter how we wish we could get one more shot at getting them right.
Buylt life rarely gives us do-overs, does it Lydi?
If my life were a movie, it would be a short without the messy moments, yet it would be an anthology with them.
I never look back on them fondly, but they still keep visiting!

we all have had messy moments... can't do without them. life is all but messy moments in between not-so-messy moments. When we look back, we can have a good laugh at these messy moments, they lend meaning to otherwise boring dull mundane everyday, there should be unpredictability in life, otherwise what fun and mess? I like the way you talk about this topic here and make great observations. thanks for sharing, Lydi - I enjoyed reading this one.

Thank you so much, A.H. I appreciate your thoughts. Lydi**
oh ... meesy moments ... they bugger us all the time ... no going back can change them it seems .. no new interpretation can smooth ... irom them out .. we may have blown it or someone/something else created them for us .. Lydi, for me you hit on a very complexing thing ... they are not like the grieving pain of loss that actually can be let go over time ... but messy moment, I find I can't help masticating them over and over trying to glean some bit of wisdom ... but alas .. the moment had passed. the next one that insists on my attention, i will try to remember your poem and just put the mess to rest ;)

Since we can no change them, better to either laugh at them or forget them! Thanks so much, E. Lyd.. read moreSince we can no change them, better to either laugh at them or forget them! Thanks so much, E. Lydi**
Hi Lydia
I found your poem to be quite appropriate for an incident with my husband the other night ; not the first time either… he fell in the sidewalk trying to pick up his walking stick ( 90 yrs old) down on the ground .. bruised … and terribly embarrassed … how will will react to this moment nobody knows; but to your point, does every “messy “ incident have to be looked upon as fear?? Couldn’t we look back and joke about it? Or will it haunt us for years to come, very critical and important thoughts;
Warmly, B🌷🌷

I hope he does not have bad injuries. Yes, we can laugh at these moments IF they do not harm us. Thanks for the review. Lydi**
Messy moments are when you realise you're not perfect! Also. they teach you a lesson: how to laugh at yourself. shake yourself down and.. 'start all over again!
'Charred shadows for sure but, it can be warmer in Winter, promising in Spring, memory in Summer and then .. you start all over again.. with caution!

They are embarrassing to many, fear of repetition to others, traumatic in some cases.
We all have those Lydi and they are part and parcel of what make us human.
I like to learn my lessons from them and move on to better things.
Excellent title and content.
