Wisdom

Source: WeHeartIt

The older I become the more

I realize that I am still learning

Some things I learn are not

what I expected …

But …

Necessary nonetheless

 

In the past few months

I realized that friends are

nice to have

But …

they are not a necessity

Acquaintances are more

realistic than friends

I have never had an

acquaintance stab me

in the back

Never has an acquaintance

deliberately hurt me

My acquaintances have been

loyal, respectful, caring, and

take time for me when friends

rarely if ever have done

 

So …

in  my old age the wisdom

of experience has given me

the realization that I will

never become close friends

with another person again

I will seek out and maintain

my acquaintances who

enrich my life like no others …

Wisdom – Day 21 April PAD

Wisdom

Through the years

I have been told

by more than one

highly evolved person

that I am an

Old Soul…

 

That I have walked

this earth many times

and touched many lives

 

I don’t know about

that for sure…

But…

I am sensitive…

Empathetic…

Intuitive…

And…

Independent…

 

I seem to know

things I should not

Read people for

more than they

appear on the

surface…

And…

Feel the weight

of the world…

Universal pain…

A difference in

someone dear to

me even before

they are aware of it…

 

I react to the

subtleties of life…

love…

the cycles of both

Moon and Tides

And…

Observe everything…

everyone…

Put up my protective

shields…

And…

Go my Own Way…

The best advice

I ever received

came from the

mentor of a

dear friend

 

She was wise

and courageous

A woman

before her time

 

During our teens

she advised us…

Enjoy the boys…

Experience all

the men you can…

 

But…

 

Don’t ever ever

fall in love

she told us

 

Love is a trap…

You only get hurt…

Be the best

woman you can

be for the man

of the hour

 

But…

 

Don’t give him

your heart…

your soul…

your life…

 

And…

 

Don’t ever ever

fall in love

she said

every time

she saw us
