Crystal-Clarity

Pick a day, any day, from your childhood past
  Age seven or eight would really be best

Go back there and visit, take your 'now family'
  Spend all of five minutes --
They'll see their 'now issues' ~ 'crystal-clearly'

Mike Gentile Date: 9/3/2021 11:07:00 AM So true GW!! Just as we turn into out parents in so many ways though we would protest that we would not! Great thoughts your have poetically expressed here. Happy Friday!! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/4/2021 7:58:00 PM Touche, Mike. We certainly do turn into our parents, unless we're jolted somehow out of such a realization and fulfillment. :) gw

Joe Dimino Date: 9/3/2021 10:25:00 AM Each generation does indeed share many of the same sentiments. As sadly, bad history repeats itself. I don't think we are here to change the world as much as to change our own hearts and minds. All else will follow. Got me thinking with this one, Gershon. Very well said!

Alexis Y. Date: 9/2/2021 8:36:00 PM Hi Gershon, I did as you asked I recalled a memory when I was seven and or eight; it was amazing (too many pages to recount). Present time, things that I am(with loved ones) arguing about is petty. In restrospect, I see that now. Well done:-) Alexis Login to Reply
