Glad to say, it happened again!
Just read my horoscope for today:
Whatever you are going through, personally
You realize that others are in the same boat.
And still others are, in a sinking ship,
Looking at your boat
And thinking it looks like a rescue
Ha!
As captain of my ship
How could I not share a train of thought
So in line with mine!
As captain, I aim to do what's needed to float my boat
While steering clear of ships
Whose captains are so lacking in self awareness
That they have no clue of how far I'd stretched
To save them from allowing their misperceptions
To iincite their crews to riot
And when lack of listening skills dismissed
My need for help as less pressing
Than their owntheir own
I felt confounded to hear myself called selfish
While I floundered ever more darkly
Into the endless night
And such was life until such time
Until my spirit collapsed
From stretching too thin to serve their needs
And my words dried up
After being unheard
And my mind depressed in dire need of a rest
Until such time as I sought help
From minds that had no need to put me down
And thus did I heal in the presence of minds
Whose perceptions offered safe haven
Where my wounds could heal
Because their lack of defensiveness
Saw my strengths as rightfully exhausted
Stretched too thin, and in need of rest
And as these minds shone the heightening light
Of insight upon my reflections
Each time I pulled into dock
I remain hopeful that when you're ready
To dock andoffer insight a chance
To deepen your sense of awareness, too
You'll send a signal
Signifying intent to considerate need
Forlasting change
In certain relationships, too
And with self-trust in our hearts
We'll set a new course
In hopes of connecting more meaningfully
With those whose presence proves vital
To the good health of inner peace and self esteem
And with those thoughts in mind
We work, in earnest
Toward deepening self awareness, grounded in realism
And perchance if we cozy up with a hot toddy in hand
And relate personal tales of scaling the highs ...
After diving into the lows—then
While swapping adventures, concerning
Love, friendship and betrayal
We may come to see where blind spots caused tunnel vision
Where we betrayed no one as much as ourselves
And perhaps understanding, compassion, and forgiveness will grow
And with positively focused trains of thought, such as these
Influencing the bent of your mind an mine
I can't help but hope that as defensiveness fades
Maturity, on both sides, may develop
Little by little, step by step
Pretty much forever
And maybe even longer than that!
