Take Care

 I love to sit with things for a while, allow my mind to kind of steep in whatever is.

I notice that my first impression is seldom quite right.  There are always details, nuances, little glimmers and glances that don't seem to appear until they have the time to settle in.

Not into reality, that is always the same, but into the reality of my mind.

A mind looking through sixty years of thoughts and concepts and misconceptions sees differently from a mind untouched by the world.

Yet the world is quick to brush over new minds, indoctrinating them with all sorts of facades, poking holes in perfectly good feelings and even blinding them to some of the sights they were born to see.

We seem to think that we can do better than the power that created us, so we tug and pull, snip and tuck and fill our children full of all those things someone filled us with.

We need to be careful when we alter creation.
