thoughts

what is revealed in a backward glance

what taught       what learned

when we give we grow

 

 

there is a parting

there is a leaving

the definition is in the pain

really like the structure of this -- is this some form you're trying or did it just come out that way? interesting -- it really gives itself to your simple aphorisms. The wisdom just kind of falls, like ripened fruit. A very simple, worthy enterprise. I would kind of like you to bring back the image in the last stanza though... just to be a little picky! (sorry)

thanks,

. wow ... a profoundly perceptive piece of writing ... it's almost startling because of its brevity ... the biggest lesson that i've learnt from the excruciating pain i suffer from and since many years now ... is the beauty of mercy ... the grace of compassion ... and the magnanimity of all that is humane ... i extend mercy to the best of my abilities and hope that one day mercy will find me and grant me relief and respite ...

And pain is to be explored through words, it seems! This is fabulous! The structure is amazing, I love this piece! A fav! xx

everything in life is about the learning

and the more I find, the more I realize how much growing I have left to do
