    Experience, Boundaries, Misunderstanding

    Young activities produce experience.

    Experience shows up both good and bad.

    Bad experiences brings caution back from the wind.

    Then love comes as a surprise.

    Love of family creates boundaries. 

    Boundaries close in on protection.

    Protection was confused with judgement.

    Judgment lead to non communication. 

    Lack of communication created space.

    Space emptied hearts and minds.

    Emptiness wedged a divide.

    To be divided was death.

    Death of the greatness of relationships held dearest.

    Separation followed the deep sleep. 

    Deep sleep slowly stirred with awakenings.

    Awakenings felt awkward.

    Awkwardness steered to strained communication. 

    Strained communication took a toll in counsel.

    Counsel calmed emotions. 

    Calmed emotions created questions. 

    Questions lead to opportunities. 

    Opportunities opened doors with revelations.

    Revelations carried burdens away.

    Burden free hearts opened doors to quality time.

    Quality time transcends to honesty.

    Honesty produced connections. 

    Connections to more glorious relations.

    Relations grow exponentially to love.

    Love enhances protective boundaries. 

    Boundaries constantly, continually being misunderstood.

    • Rebbecca, I love how you show how all these parts of life are interconnected. You are right that all of our experiences, both good and bad, lead us to where we are supposed to be and the love we are supposed to find. I also understand how the boundaries we create can lead to misunderstandings. Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking piece!

    • Thank you so much, Emmy, for hearing me. Sometimes I wonder if my writing styles confuse people. I am a true believer in chain reactions and sometimes those reactions reach or go where we may never see. The chains are longer than us and can become stronger as they grow. Have a great week!
