being civilized
am I my brother's meerkat?
should I stand and squawk?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I love meerkat's. So cute and brave and selfless warning others in the group of danger....On a personal level it is hard to know when to speak up and when to love someone as they are.
My blatant flaw is being angry with those who deliberately hurt me and I still react. Usually of course warnings make no difference and God will unblind them in His own time....

A good thinking piece. Enjoyed...

Hugs, Pat
