A Lot In Common
DJ’s depths of wisdom never ceases to amaze me…
Sitting and eating a snack he jabbers softly.
I ask him what he said;
“Never mind, Paw Paw… I’m just talking to myself.”
I ask if it was an interesting conversation.
He said “Yes, it is…
Me and myself have a lot in common.”
I cracked up, laughing at his sense of humor.
Slowly the wisdom began to sink in.
That sense of comfort with ourselves, that joy;
So many of us adults have lost in self judgment.
We create an enmity between our me and myself;
Wishing to escape, yet bound by the flesh.
Yet by yielding to the reality of who we are,
We discover a strength in this pact of peace.
Finding that in truth and reality,
Me and myself have a lot in common.
