Underneath that deep thirst for knowledge and adventure we probably also seek a human connection that is otherwise unavailable via other types of human interaction. Just a random thought. /Rik

One boyhood thing done quite often enough, sitting atop a wooden bridge that bisects a family property and musing away a shady summer afternoon whilst pondering a fast flowing stream, not quite a river but designated so in maps, looking back so many decades later, has indeed enriched thought and life and considerations. Thanks for sharing.

|
|
2023-05-12
How these thorns remind me of those prickled seed pods in the grass that accompany us home after playing outdoors, or even just walking through the field. As for rose thorns, their 'bark' and their 'bite' are both quite equal in their vestigial nature and their capacity to leave their mark on the unwitting. A pleasure to read and engage with.

To not know why is both a curse and a blessing. Not for want of feeling but perhaps of motive, words are a balm or when weaponised hold sway or power over others. As social beings our choices affect all. Thanks for sharing.

A poet dying, celebrated or hidden, diminishes our soul and hopefully elevates our appreciation of what we had and what is yet to be. And in the early morning rain we tend to bundle up and find comfort in many simple ways.

Good friends are hard to find and often in my failings have found that they often reflect back what my own inconstancy had hurt them. In like manner it is quite an eye for an eye. To be in each other's comfort is indeed a gift sublime.

On that last question; yeah, it's way easier to get that connection with our pets but it's not unheard of between humans, what for the innumerable complications and stuff we factor in. Perhaps if we lived life simpler and less conspiratorially the best in us could and will shine through for its simple face value. Our pets have no ulterior motives but to be. So should we.
