How often
does our prayer to
accept the things that cannot change
become an excuse for complacency?
How often
do we turn away from the possible
just because it’s difficult?
How often
to we tell ourselves ‘it’s always been’
and fail to see that something else could be?
How often
do we rail against those
who gentle encourage change when
they demonstrate another way?
How often
do we shout our certainty
when we should listen and see
wider horizons of possibility?

More often than we should (but I think it is a very tricky question). That’s why I think we are where we are.
It’s a nice coincidence that this is the second time you have written something I am thinking about the very moment. These days I am going back and forth between “should I accept the things that I cannot change?~ or “should I listen and see wider horizons of possibility.”
That is a fascinating coincidence! Have a great day, Bibishan.
What a strong nudge in a positive direction! Thank you, Shawn.
My pleasure, Debra. Thank you for stopping by my blog today!
How often does the ‘tried and true’ become thrown in the face of someone who just wants to offer unconditional love?
I’m not clear about where you’re going with this thought. Can you elaborate?
I am sorry i am not good at giving advices but can i interest you in a rhetorical question ?
