7/29/10 - Reality's Connundrum

choices - the choices we make are a direct reflection of who we are and what we value
preference -our preferences are what we would like to see, but are not always, fully realized
our reality is what is intended for us, regardless of what we prefer to choose

7/16/10 Hide & Peek

I was hiding...
not intentionally hiding, but tucked away
and when it became apparent that no one knew where I was
I did not speak up
So I guess I was more, "removed" than hiding
There was no fear of being found
I did not feel that anxious, excitement that you experience when you hide and don't want to be found
I was actually right there,
within earshot, but no one thought to look behind the predominanty shut door
it's hinge leaving it open ever so slighty,
enough to hear

Have you ever wondered what it's like when you're gone?
Have you ever thought about how things transpire when you are not there?
What people say and do when you are not around?
How your presence impacts and influences events?

I heard things
Things I did not like, harsh words. terse words, cruelty within earshot
and I did not move,
I did not stir to defend or speak up
I stayed where I was and thought...
I like the world better when I'm in it
