LAYERED  LOOK

Look! Look at your life.

Look carefully. Look!

There are layers upon layers.

There are events upon events –

comments upon comments –

hurts that trigger hurts,

passive aggression on top

of past hurts – payback

on top of payback.

Look at your life.

See the sorrows under

joys and the joys under sorrows.

Let go!  Stop the cycles

of hurt upon hurt. Look!

Listen. Learn. Unravel.

STOP signs sometimes work.
