Core strength

I do try filter out the negativity that accompanies life Duke, my poems are a great way of deflecting its persistence, I’m doing ok, hope you are keeping well too. Cheers David

Heya Ink, thanks so much for your visit and wise words, yes sieve is predominantly used in this neck of the woods rather than (colander) has great metaphoric meaning too, I’m pretty much impervious to put-downs by egotists, and firmly believe in treating everyone with the same respect or distain they treat me with, I prefer to stand my own ground, as I don’t have any imaginary moral high ground to take! Although I will always grasp that piece of light you send, cheers David

Lol for some, but a few toxins come in x-Large size. I’d want those to wash down the drain. lol not keeping what goes thru. Have a good night.

Maybe smaller holes might offer more protection when the onslaught arrives, :)

We better make sure the holes in our sieves are large enough not to let the nasty stuff get through without tainting us.

Heya Lin, yes indeed that is certainly one interpretation, another is perhaps our unseen inner strengths that give us the ability to filter out the harsh realities of life, cheers David
