Combat Of Fools

 A   L   O   H   A !

Too many people

merely shop

the truths and 

opinions of others,

never troubling to look

deeply enough

to form their own.





Such folks

consider conversation

a competition.

Cheering on their 

ready-made

allegiances, sadly failing

to find the thrill of

discovering fuller truth

by really listening 

to one another.






Collaboration is

the opposite

of capitulation.






Only the self-confident

can play in the fields

of ideas, growing

wisdom all the while.


Anyway, 

that's what Pixie

tells me

this morning!




LOVE YOU!

That is a totally adorable shot of Pixie.
Listening, really listening rather than waiting to put our two cents in, is a very real gift. A rare gift.

Pixie looks like she's plotting something.
