But

165

.

“At sunrise

everything is luminous

but not clear.

It is those we live with and love

and should know

who elude us.

You can love completely

without complete understanding. “

.

~ Norman Maclean – A River Runs Through It

.

There are some things that we think we know

but in truth we never fully understand.

Sunny days, rainy days, happy days, sad days,

there is always a cloud or a rainbow

following every emotional experience

but clouds and rainbows soon dissipate.

Today, ignore the ifs, ands, or  buts;

reservations, restrictions, or excuses:

go for the love even if you do not understand.

Love is complete but without complete understanding.

Love is helping someone love themselves.

To Be Yourself

163

.

.

“A friend

is someone

who gives you

total freedom

to be yourself.”

.

~ Jim Morrison

.

.

The control freak and the co-dependent

are mostly worried about their own insecurities,

a friend is concerned about your well being.

The sick manipulate and pressure others to change,

so as to avoid having to change themselves.

If the supposed friend is too demanding or too needy

move on, have faith, God will provide a friend to all

who are willing to give everyone the freedom they need.

Friendship is being given the freedom to be yourself.

Friendship is a priceless gem

that is to be valued and protected.
