Comparisons

Vast difference comparing 18 year old Kevin, to 57 year old me.

Comparisons
6/16/11

It's difficult to get away
from this aspect of humanness
that taken emotionally too far
becomes harsh judgment, fanatical prejudice,
self-righteous rants against those opposite,
creating separation, societal caste system,
divided by money, education, race,
addictive distortions experienced during upbringing,
scrutinizing raised where, by whom,
so discernment capacity is integral
combining virtuous benevolence, love, compassion,
initially for oneself, then others,
enabling choice according to preferred
happiness without making someone wrong,
they're just different, though unwanted
in whatever backdrop life situation,
like partnerships in romance, business,
and friendship, which inevitably change
asking we re-evalutate further participation ...
Is aliveness still being served
through freedom from imprisoning boxes?
Does soul purpose trajectory align
tomorrows dreams with actions today?
to carefully identify important priorities,
harvest insightful wisdom from past
providing comparisons informing new direction
