CONFESSIONAL  BOX

How hard it is to admit

a mistake, a sin, a wrong.

Some just can’t do that. They

can’t say, “I’m made a mistake.”

Well, not every mistake….

The one to look at and

then take a second look at,

is the one we can’t confess.

Now that’s the one to put

in the box, the confessional

box, confess it - close the
curtain and then move on.

Thought for today: 

“Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day.  Wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.”

RECOGNITION

Everyone noticed that everything she did

and everything she said - was to be noticed.

What she didn’t recognize - was that she

didn’t need to do anything - for recognition.

Nobody does. We just have to - not be afraid

to be who we are - and keep growing. That’s it.

CURVES,  CORNERS, 

NIGHTS  AND  MOUNTAINS 

Sometimes on a clear road

we can’t see forever.

There is a curve, a corner, a mountain

or the night blocking our view.

Sometimes when it’s not clear we think

about the unknown road into forever.
