I Learned So Much From

One Pays A Lot, We All Pay A Lot, For Awareness.

Somedays, If Bitterness Were A Whetstone, I Could Be Sharp As Grief.

It Does Not Pay To Cherish Symbols When The Substance Lies So Close At Hand.

Guilt Is Not A Response To Anger; It Is A Response To One’s Own Actions Or Lack Of Action. If It Leads To Change Then It Can Be Useful, Since It Is Then No Longer Guilt But The Beginning Of Knowledge. Yet All Too Often, Guilt Is Just Another Name For Impotence, For Defensiveness Destructive Of Communication; It Becomes A Device To Protect Ignorance And The Continuation Of Things The Way They Are, The Ultimate Protection For Changelessness.

What I Leave Behind Has A Life Of Its Own.
