Unfinished business

I'm tired

of watching the ferris wheel

scoop us

and spin us

back to the sun.

"get on the ride

it's all for fun!"

until your heart sinks

and at the bottom the past is fading

and at the top, hell is waiting.

__

Don't let history repeat itself.

You Learn

A friend sent these beautiful words by Argentinean author, JLB. The first half is sitting in me like my soul just got fed some good breakfast cereal. Maybe that's not a good analogy since I never loved cereal, but I feel full. -- "You Learn” After a while you learn the subtle difference Between holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning And company doesn’t mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts And presents aren’t promises, And you begin to accept your defeats With your head up and your eyes open With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child, And you learn to build all your roads on today Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn… That even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul, Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… That you really are strong And you really do have worth… And you learn and learn… With every good-bye you learn. - Jorge Luis Borges
