Here is a new post seed planted and pondered. It will have to do with how well we really know others, even ones close to us and how well we know ourselves. But isn't it great that we can air our praise or disapproval out in the open! We might ask ourselves what are our motives. Are we just joining in with our own ideas? Do we hope to share love, manipulate and control, slyly suggest or just plain feel the need to pump out the truth as we see it? But that, truth, like so many things in life, is relative. It is prone to interpretation. I happen to like this post by August. His thoughts seem so close to mine. Strange. I, have in the past, received some almost hateful comments and have deleted them. Later I felt I had made a mistake because rich, fertile, even manure like thoughts cause wonderful ideas and expressions to grow, for all to see and learn from. So, like Bu$h might say "Bring it on".

Cling to the moment, it disappears if left uncaught. Measure not time, but connecting of soles Find your pleasures in the lense of your eye Treasure is not burried but inhaled by each breath Will you feel the same tomorrow, maybe not, did you meet your goals? Only time will show how hard you tried. Express Yourself, be tortured not.
Cling to the moment, it disappears if left uncaught.

Measure not time, but connecting of soles
Find your pleasures in the lense of your eye
Treasure is not burried but inhaled by each breath

Will you feel the same tomorrow, maybe not, did you meet your goals? Only time will show how hard you tried.

Yeah, I get it. It goes with the quote at the top: "Thank you for sending me a copy of your book; I'll waste no time reading it." -- Moses Hadas Uh huh. Yeah, I get it.
