Late Night Wisdom

"Life will break you.
Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning.
You have to love. You have to feel.
It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up.

And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness.

Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could."

-Louise Erdrich

Deep & Meaningful

Recently I made a mistake, I did something wrong, I messed up - however you want to put it. I'm not going to elaborate on what I did, but I let someone down. I could have covered it up and got away with it - but I hate lies. Friends told me that the truth may set me free, but that my friend would be very hurt to hear the truth. I went with my gut, and gave a full confession. My friend was disappointed and I supposed hurt. So I'm winning back trust and mending bridges. I'm very fortunate to associate with understanding people, with strength of character. In that moment I realised that I had risked losing a valuable friendship. It was the wake up call that I needed. I do wish I could have gone about getting elightenment in a better way though :-|

 

I suppose we live, we learn?

 

Wisdom.

'I confess that I have been blind as a mole, but it is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all.'
