The Most Gorgeous Wreath

She has made a gorgeous wreath the older lady said. Not being able to see that the white flowers were skeletons. It’s obviously for Halloween, someone replied. Another person asked why, as skeletons are “in” now. The older lady had no idea why they were speaking of skeletons. She was speaking about a wreath, with huge white flowers. She had never seen flowers with huge black seeds like this. They were uniform too. They must have been silk.

Oftentimes people see or know what we do not. Perfectly innocent in our eyes. Sometimes they ruin our idea of what we thought.

They sure do; sometimes it is best to keep enlightenment to a minimum.

Apparently she sees what she wants to see. It will do no good to enlighten her, because she will continue to see what she wants to see.
