 Opinions Held in O, round-mouthed and willing to accept truths within, my outside etched by remarks over time, I await yours. Attitude Belief Outlook View Estimation Each of us bears witness to opine, but here now, look, see, with me the acrostic truth of it all. I would sit in reflection, Eager to take in all observations, dogmatic or otherwise, knowing that some might etch my insides with acidic comment, so I dilute them carefully, allowing to dissipate those that may defile my glow. I will hold your opinions willingly, to show acceptance of your views, but know that when they turn acerbic, I will dilute some, just so. ~*~ ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 10 November 2002 |

Karilea~ The stark beauty of the graphic is accented by the crystal clarity of truth in your word-thoughts~ Excellent penning~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

For me, all of life is like a mirror...when someone finds fault with or in me, it possibly and probably is there, no doubt, but, for sure, the same fault, though perhaps disquised, is within my accusor. This concept is a wonderful way to learn and to grow into all we are meant to be..for all of us who are willing to be rigorously honest, a state of mind I've had to pray for.......ever a new layer of the peeling of the onion..... The above is what your poem caused me to feel, think and ponder.... Thank you, Warm Regards, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Karilea, "I will hold your opinions willingly, to show acceptance of your views, but know that when they turn acerbic, I will dilute some, just so." Yes, these are my feelings, EXACTLY....I value and respect the opinions of others very much. It's when they become unkind and hurtful in their attitudes that I have trouble with them. Maybe I can just start to "dilute" those "opinions" and feel better all the way around. Thanks for sharing these thoughts. "Love makes the world go around" |
