101th Poem! Upon reaching 100 poems on here I decided to skim through some of my writings. I noticed a drastic change in my outlook and perception of life. So for this post I decided to do something a little different. :)
To me this is what counts... all else is just life...
We exist to learn and grow to learn. Some growth is fun, some not so much. A lot of the time uncomfortable, even seemingly impossible, too often painful. All our journeys are different and some of the least painful ways to grow is learning from another's journey completely opposite of our own.
Out of love, companionship should yield enrichment. Affecting a positive change elevating mind, body and spirit. Unselfish in thoughtful concern. Giving in absolute joy, with good intent.
I perceive the unique attributes we each possess, the unspoken law maintaining balance in contribution. Acknowledgment of this gives immeasurable value to individual strengths. Reinforcement of our worth.
Wealth, poverty and status simply a state of physical being, contentment in mind achievable in any state, in turn inconsequential. So the "where" someone is at in life is insignificant. It's the "who" they are actively in their heart, mind and spirit.
Vitally important in "who" I desire companionship with: Loving vigorously, compassionate eyes, empathy without constraint, loyal in mind and body, unequivocal respect for all humanity.
All else is just life.... imperfect perfections, successfully failing, always growing to learn and learning to grow.
