Every Moment That I Am

Just When I Think I Have Learned The Way To Live, Life Changes And I Am Left The Same. The More Things Change The More I Am The Same. I Am What I Started With, And When It Is All Over I Will Be All That Is Left Of Me.

I'd Rather Be Happy Than Right.

For Communication To Have Meaning It Must Have A Life. It Must Transcend "you And Me" And Become "us." If I Truly Communicate, I See In You A Life That Is Not Me And Partake Of It. And You See And Partake Of Me. In A Small Way We Then Grow Out Of Our Old Selves And Become Something New. To Have This Kind Of Sharing I Cannot Enter Into A Conversation Clutching Myself. I Must Enter Into It With Loose Boundaries. I Must Give Myself To The Relationship, And Be Willing To Be What Grows Out Of It.

We Feel Understood By People Who Like Us; Misunderstood By People Who Don't -- And Those Feelings Are Probably Realistic.

Today I Acknowledge That I Am Not In Position To Judge What Mistakes Anyone Is Making Or What Lessons Anyone Needs To Learn. I Don’t Know How Far Someone Has Come Or When That Person Will Have A Breakthrough, I Simply Don’t Know What Other People Should Be Doing. But When I Think I Do Know, I Clearly Am Not Doing What I Should Be Doing, Which Is Taking Responsibility For My Own Life.
