SUBJECTIVE REALITIES
When she proclaims
with most serious conviction
that she completely believes that
“Everything happens for a reason . . .
and in it’s right time,”
Some might comment:
~~~
“I think we have this
backwards –life
is a lot
of random chance.
It doesn’t happen
for a reason,
but if you respond
with compassionate awareness,
you will grow stronger
in adversity.
Thus IT
just happens,
but we can
GIVE
it a reason.”
~~~
She stands firm
in her choice
of viewing life
her way
with all due
respect of the different
perspectives
of ‘the others,’
Staying true
to her-ownself
habitually
her response continues
to be:
~~~
“It is difficult
for me to connect
random, chance and accident
with purpose, reason and divine timing,
so for the now,
I will stick to
the philosophy
I accept
from behind my [spectacles]
of rosey tinted glass,
compassionately
thank you
for your [good intentioned]
interaction,
and skip down the path
of the journey
that has been laid down
‘specially for me.”
