For me, to have to consider another's intention(s)
Only leads me to believe that perhaps I needn't have paid attention.
A song I wrote many years ago contained the line:
"Sometimes, I know that she like me other times, I don't think so.
Sometimes, I feel like she needs me other times, I just don't know!"
Maybe for some,
The lack of knowledge,
Or even the suspense
of not knowing the truth
Is something that's pleasurable?
For me though,
Pleasure comes in understanding.
Pleasure comes in knowledge
Not in confusion, or abstraction.
Monday (somewhere in the world right now);
For some, starts the week anew.
And yet for me,
Sunday always draws me to the edge of this new week.
And on this coming Sunday, I will be refreshed in the knowledge that
In order for anything to work, as in, in order for a sports team, In order for a family,
in order for a relationship to work, There has to be a reciprocal understanding.
No, I didn't say equal partnership.
I said reciprocal understanding.
I do some.
You do some.
Just as a chef cooks the food.
And yet, without the pantry chefs prep,
Dinner will not be served.
Or like last night @ the club;
The bartender pours,
The waitress serves
The Dj spins
The party gets to pop pin!
Life thus, requires an ebb and flow as well.
Half way!
Or even part way sometimes!
But all the way myself?
Not if you want it all yourself.
In giving, in reaching beyond, and in not just only receiving,
then a true reciprocal understanding unfolds betweens
not just us two, and in that, a better life unfolds, grows,
and blends beautifully into a lasting bliss!
And in that, my weekend just got better.
About Me
- Edward Thomas
- More than just a Man, but also, a human being as well; Me, I'm just as often found @ the center of the struggle, but never as someones absent minded follower. True enough, I love my Mother, and though I'm eager to be perfect, I actually prefer to be nice, than have my own way! When asked, my closest friends would say that I am often in the company of the wind: The Wind(a dear friend of mine since birth) and I are often near and around you, and though, we're not always seen or felt near you, it's always better understood within you. Odd I know, but true nonetheless. True, not unlike the truth contained withing the thought of me flying would appear, but then again, when the wind wills, well, often I've awoken in strange places and had to patiently await his return, so as to get back home again. Luckily, he never lingers long, for it's hard enough explaining my discernment (of)to people. Imagine the after shock of a early morning phone call from Cleveland???
