There's contentment that is fierce,obsession that is calm as undisturbed
surface of a crystal lake beneath
which churns another realm.
What one sees in our lives may not be
what is, but who's to say that what we see
in theirs isn't also very different than reality?
Complex creatures sharing planet
do not always share their deepest plans
or dreams nor should they try. Why would I
invite a soul into my heart and and mind
unless I knew they'd understand that while
some parts of my entirety aren't perfect,
other aspects are, and always will be, grand?

I have been thinking along these lines of late. Thanks for expressing it. There is so much vulnerablity in sharing.
