We are free to think, but cautious
To the way some others think
A word might be mistaken
And the smile we had might sink

Rick, I like this a great deal. It is so true...words can be mistaken...
so easily....Feeling secure in who we are is ever so important....when dealing with others...


Thank you for this reminder.

Warm regards,
Pat

(sigh) Oh Rick, this is so very true, we can think as we please without restrictions but unfortunately words and pretext and context must all be followed and read the exact same way as it is written! (big hugggsssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love the thoughts you share, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rick, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Pat, thanks for the reply, many times we keep what we think to ourselves, sometimes best to do this or friendships and people may take a wider berth and speak of us more as they think. How many really want to know?
I appreciate the reply.

Noah, lovely to hear from you again, thanks for the reply and sharing of words, which I so enjoy.

Robert, I am glad you enjoyed, How many hidden thoughts fight each day to come out?

Hope you all have a great week.

Sincerely
Rick.

Rick,
Such powerful words. If we would put our brains to work before we put our mouths into action we would be a lot better off. Don't you think?

Hello Rick

I love this style you have been writing lately and even though the words are few they hold so much meaning.  Wonderful!

Take care.....Sue
