 Thought for the Day

YOU  NEVER  KNOW

 

We'll never know how and when
and where one moment – one 
gesture - will take us. Consequences....
There are many –  unless we get frozen 

in some bog or tundra for two thousand years.            Find me. Dig me. Discover me! Know me.

Some people are hard to describe:
blank, speechless, sneaky, shadows ….
 
Some people are described as insects:
mosquitos,  fleas, wasps, flies on the wall ….

CONVERSATIONS

I like him because he listens.

I like her because she’s clear.
I like her because she asks questions.
I like him because he refers back
        to some thing that I said.

I like him because he says, “For example"

        and then gives a good example.

I like her because she asks me

        to speak up when I’m quiet 

I don’t like him because he hogs

        the conversation.

I like him because he doesn’t have

        to top everyone who speaks.

I like her because she doesn’t look

        at her watch when I speak.

I like him because he enjoys a

        good conversation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     © Andy Costello, Reflections 2021

Thought for the Day

“The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn’t write them again, and wouldn’t want to.”
