Knowledge

She said, "You have nothing,
unless you have your health."

I thought; "How silly,
for we do not know how fragile that is."

We live,
we die,
in a blink of an eye.
A hiccup,
a cough,
a tumor,
a car accident,
a fall,
are but moments away from each of us.

We do not know.

Not money.
No, not love
and not even health, can we be sure of.

We can seek to have peace with our God and our fellow man
and that we can keep,
always.

Was that sensitivity
Or
weakness?

So much confusion

Vulnerability
Or
A fault?

Interest
Or
looking for prey?

On first meeting

Do you ever know?

HI JOEY-

Happy Thanksgiving to you. Hope all is well. WE had a blessed day - full of love food, wine, family, and a lovely surprise dinner guest - my son's new girlfriend, from Italy - her presence delighted us all Hallelujah

Love you man
Gail
peace.....

Perhaps it was/is that without health it is difficult to see beyond to the good or bad, the love or loss, or anything. In a sick state, in a crumbling of body, perhaps toes are at the precipice and all that can be seen is earth slipping away. Or so it has been, at times, for me. (Money itself is nothing. It is to eat, to be warm, those things we measure like health, although we do forget in our luxury to do this too often.)

Or so it seems, Joey. I might be wrong.

Was she trying to know you? or herself?

Always interesting to come.
