Sometimes the question needs to be asked of myself. Can I move forward with life's lessons, or do I chose to continually suffer? I guess it depends on the day! ;-)


Let it Go!




This thorn in your brain
How crucial is the pain?
Do you really need
To keep this weed
So it can sow again?

How important is it?
Is it worth another visit?
Does it amuse
To press a bruise
Another ache elicit?

Why let agony provoke us?
Can't we find another focus?
If we can't find
A more positive mind
The past may damn well choke us!

P K Padhy
A very thoughtful expression. It is contemporary to the present socio-political situation.
Dr P K Padhy, India

We can all give up booze, while we're drunk. Then we sober up, get a hangover, claim never to do it again: then do it again. The two stages of resolve: during the pleasure and during the pain. If we could do it during the rational times, we might get somewhere but then we'd run out of poetry.

Mark.
