School Mates We

A  L  O  H  A !
Up On The Roof by James Taylor on Grooveshark
" The more you are motivated
 by love,
 the more fearless
 and free 
your actions will be. "

Katherine Mansfield






" If you don't get lost, 

there's a chance 

you may never

 be found. "

Author Unknown







" Perhaps the truth

 depends on a walk

 around the lake.  "


Wallace Stevens










People talk of earth
 of this life 
as a school. 

Sounds nice, 
but think of the 
implications. 

Everyone you meet, 
has a lot to learn. 
This includes you.

And me. 

So why does everyone
 expect 
perfect behavior 
from everyone else?

Avoid the sociopaths, 
play nice with the others, 
and take it all 
with a grain of salt. 

No one knows what they are doing.
 It is those who think 
they have the answers
for you 
that you have to watch out for.

So let's watch out
for each other
instead!

What do you say?

                              Warmly, cloudia

I say I absolutely agree with that last bit Cloudia.

For the big questions, no one has the answers 'for' you. Those that think they do are indeed dangerous.

Steffi said...

I agree with you!
Have a nice day!

Indrani said...

Those who think they have answers are pretty scary. Me, I have so many questions. But watching out for each other, caring for each other that sounds true to me.

This rang so true for me. We make it up as we go.
There was a time when we adopted a philosophy which made sense and eased us along our journey. With age, it all becomes more nuanced.

(I have not attended to my blog with any consistency as I have migrated back to my natural language---which is music.)

Thank you for continuing to reflect and write. It truly is a comfort to visit.
