Date men and women from United States. On this journey that begins with one step change is inevitable. Most always hoping in love and cracking a joke. Dry, absurd or even groaners but then stop and wait for better material. Life obliges with regularity, lol.. Life seems to have the best truth for our discovery and provide the best humor. Love hopes all things and there is love in this heart whether bruised or exultant.
The glass is just a glass whether it is full or empty. Hey is that my chipped, cracked and leaky glass and is the water evaporating in this hot environment? I hope it is half full and yet at times I may grapple with today and darn that sucker looks depleted to me. Good to be in the struggle and just refreshed from the glass. Beats the alternative. Guess it's true that we get out of life what we put into it,with some bumps and surprises along the way. What about you OR is it just a saying? Have you known love and heartache? Are you experienced? Is your mind open? Could you love a person who views things differently than you? Are you kind, tolerant and warm? Do you value people even when you don't understand why an how what makes them who they are or why they value the things they do? Would your prefer peace over being right? Not a door mat but a choice. I will respect other's wishes regardless of my understanding because I want to cross barriers. Beyond compassion and reaching out some people's barriers are deep chasms and while life moves us forward it is best to let others to their own devices. There are those that are destructive and hurtful to their self''s and others. It is up to us to choose our friends wisely.
There needs to be time for understanding. Illumination happens when we are teachable, ready, when we are who we need to be to be impacted most profoundly.
To make a difference to hang on or let go these conflicts and choices are what often drive us to action that comes to define us and make us who we are. In this light who are you? If we meet for coffee and conversation these heart of the matter things are the heavy conversation that moves and determines connection for me. Once the important things are understood between people I think then it is so much better to be at ease and enjoy the quiet or sunrises and sunsets. Small talk is a boor in comparison and I've little desire for it. I think I may prefer water boarding over small talk, lol, or at least quiet reflection and sharing the moment..Thrive in small personal social settings and shy sometimes in bigger ones, or not. Just guilty of being me,everyone else is taken. Down time just sometimes watching the world turn and stream pass by is the pause that refreshes. I feel today it would be a better world if we did take the time to slow down as has been more natural in humanity's not so distant past. Elders deserve that healthy deference from us.
It would be good to share life with a human being.
