Accepting people
as they are
is always the right thing
but not always the easy thing.
I hate to say this but,
I sometimes have an inner 'cringe'
at the disaster of a life lived.

Outside my first hand experience.
Outside ........ the on show me .........
is a sensitive
and loving me,
not shocked,
not cringing away ...
...and that is real.




I have the deepest of feelings
for the damaged souls.
It comes down to the soul.
It is not just body damage,
not just mental damage,
not just a lifetime of rejection ...
..... it is soul damage.
Damaged by a collection
of life experiences,
and stuff we will never will know.


“If you want to build a ship,
don't drum up the men
to gather the wood,
divide the work
and give orders.
Instead,
teach them to yearn
for the vast and endless sea”

(Antoine de Saint Exupery)
