enact kindness
create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness

the story of this flower's storm

that clear -eyed look
belies the gladness
borne of being an old child
one who knew too much too soon
madness
sweet
melancholy
wild
sadness
touchstones
dancing pounding restless melodies
sing chime chant
(for) this unruly river ( is)
overflowing
into the fierce
tenderness of now

    It is reallyt a curse when you absob too much too soon, you have to let it go, otherwise you will blow, you have to share it or build a think with the gettted

    Mariana -- this is a wonderful comment; I do not think that too much too soon is a bad thing... it is simply the thing that sometimes happens, and then, as you say, one makes sense of what that means...
    thanks for the visit.

    We are the sum total of our experience...sometimes we have to overcome the experiences, methinks.

    Perhaps too soon known is not too soon dealt with.

    WM -- you make a good point... I am humbled in an ongoing way as I work out my understanding(s) of the moments I have lived.
