Better Left Behind

Blog Posted:10/29/2010 5:11:00 PM

     So we keep picking up from where we left off..... We can never seem to understand that to "pick up" means that we have in the past set something down, perhaps its better left where it was laid; we put it down for a reason! Yet we always seem to go back to it, we prod it, we poke, we hit it with a hammer and nothing changes.


     Insanity: one of the definitions of insanity is to keep repeating the same action over and over again and all the while expecting a different result ... it’s not going to happen, we can beat a dead horse until its nothing but a pile of broken bones but in essence it will be the same. Nothing has changed, only its shape is different.


     So, while we curse the night for being dark and the ocean for being wet in our peripheral there is a whole different life happening, something we seldom see because of our "life" blocking the way, take the time to look around once in a while. You might be surprised at what you find!!!!!

Well I may be insane after all ! I put it down, and pick it up; constantly returning to it !(my pen and slip). And I keep repeating the same actions over and over again, expecting a different result ever time ! For sure...I'm insane ! I'm driven by poetry....oh my, I feel another attach of returning to mine writes ! GTG *smiles* Have a great poetic day ! much love, james

Not exactly sure where you're going with this but as always it's a matter of perspective,a dead horse may remain a dead horse until it becomes food for flies and ferilizer for the ground and then its cells may become a dandylion! Light & Love
