who is astoundingly creative and talented. She is so sparkly and alive and doing her Path. Yet, she is in pain, seeing only that she hasn't "made it" in the ways she has decided defines that term.
I see her as my hero.
I have a friend who has so much abundance surrounding him! But he is unable to see. He is sad. He describes himself as a depressive. I have known fear for him, frustration for him, anger with him in my pain.
Aside from all this, I see a light, a wordsmith, a romantic with so much potential to serve the world and those he comes in contact with...even though he says he is old and an empty vessel.
I refuse to believe that vision he has of himself. I see him as a Teacher. A Lover. I will see him as nothing less than this.
I have a friend, a Lover in every aspect of the word. I have known her for decades as she has found her way in loving and living in the face of all that love is not. She loves humanity. She loves her lovers. She loves Life.
She makes me smile with her complexly multifacted, multidimensional, simple, sweetly present Love.
Gifts.

Gillette - what's sad of cousre is that so many don't see themselves the way those who love them do; I think many people struggle with honest appraisals of self, a combination of lack of esteem, upbringing (a lot are told "not to be vain", "not to brag", "not to toot their own horn"), and a tendency to concentrate on the ngatives rather than see the positives.
A good reminder here to reassess and be HONEST with oneself; i.e. look at ALL aspects of self, not just the ones that you don't like.
Beautiful beauty full eyes you have!
This post really made me dream on the depth of the word potential...that somehow even without becoming, acheiving or manifesting something new out of the potential, just having that potential is akin to the colour and depth of our character. Like the potency of a perfume.
Wow, to be surrounded by such creativity and beauty and poignancy.
...and I feel lucky to have dropped by and found more treasure rich words.
