Fine Line when standing in line carefully pick the side you choose one side you win the other you lose and the winning can come at a great cost but if you lose forever it is lost "Pour yourself thick, when it is you, that you spread." |

Nice thoughts here, Helen. But I must admit that I rarely think much about winning or losing. In any sport someone must win and someone must lose. And in reality isn't the winning only perception? One only wins with respect to some concept of what the outcome should be, and after we know what happens there is a tendency to say what we should have done. Isn't this kind of dwelling on our own selfish notions? I rarely ever worry much about which way to choose, although many people think that I should. I often kind of find it more productive and exciting just to roll the dice. Whee! Although I do tend to walk like an eagle always seeking truth and destroying lies with blazing fire. And it always helps when people are afraid to lie to us. And when we always seek truth, and work to acquire better skills in choosing, our energy is expended more productively on prevention, not correction as knowing that we do our best, we just release whatever happens, without stewing over how it could have been different. For if in truth we do our best then it's best to let God take care of it. And to look back with sorrow, shame and blame, or accuse is always futile and very harmful to everybody. Can't we just let it all go and take each new step with God's help seeking truth, doing our best, but releasing all mistakes? And then we can virtually ignore that fine line of choice. Perhaps it's really not a line anyway but an illusion in a mirror. ((Helen)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |
