RE: Life Is Strange ---- Original Poem (2011)
Wow @cabbagepatch all I can say is thank you for the beautiful response.. I appreciate you opening up about how hardship has ended up enriching your life and increasing your wisdom. I have to always remind myself that there is good in what appears bad to us, and bad in good. Of course, because reality is not really dualistic, except in our minds and in a physical sense. Also, life is so powerful because it is cyclical, and we re-trace and refine and re-learn lessons many times in subtly different ways, which polishes us like a cosmic gem. We need not be ashamed of the process of growing, yet the culture often makes us feel that being vulnerable is a weakness. So sometimes we hide away and sequester the deeper aspects of ourselves to protect it from what feels like a hostile and uncaring exterior world. Like you said, we learn in time that we are not really alone at all, ever! It takes dedication and perseverance to continue to walk that path towards wholeness. All the best... d-pend
You are a wonderful person with so much potential because your soul and life experiences are deep. You also possess that spark of light that is so strong, it won't let you falter. I saw something in you that should be cherished and nurtured. Since I was young, for some reason I always knew and felt who were real and grounded. I was always drawn to people who really had a deep, deep inner spirit and you are one of them. I don't waste my time or effort on superficial people. You'll be surprised that there are so many people like yourself. The world is a much, much better place for people like you. I am deeply grateful for your comment but more importantly I'm glad our paths have crossed. Like I said before, please keep writing and expressing because people need to wake up and start caring and loving. .......Cabbagepatch
