A simple matter of a mind open to possibilities… the gesture towards as oppose to away… A respect filled notion once given is returned in kind… The bond between us exists because we allow it to respectfully aware that it is fragile… Over time walls are built of respect… they are built to with stand the tests of time… Walls are also built of paper and they crumble when faced with the wind for they take flight to wander while respect stands firm in the face of adversity… If we manage to lift our selves we see beyond the differences to respect the qualities that we share in common… and from there we learn to see past our own limitations of thought… A simple gesture adds to the mix that forms the mortar that holds together the stones that is the wall on witch we stand at times teetering at other times firm… A mind open sits in the stillness calm to the winds of change and moves with the words for they are allowed to find a place to speak and an ear to listen… A respect filled smile or nod of the head…

What we allow for another greets us… What we place before another is returned in kind to us by those who bear witness to our actions… What we sprinkle on the ground before us takes root in the fertile grounds to grow and nurture those who wish to share in the fruits of our open mindedness… We take what is owed us and expected from us is given freely for each feeds the next one… Each task is taken to heart and placed openly before us and dished out to all those in the present… Each action creates another and builds upon the steps we laid yesterday… Our strength arrives from the respect we build up over time and when we grant this we receive it in turn…

We can respect another and disagree with their point of view of their actions… We can find the middle ground to stand firm while still being respectful of the person or persons who oppose us… It is 6this trait that separates the truth filled action from the emotional reaction… If one respects another’s strengths and weaknesses they can use the strengths and strengthen the weaknesses… A respect filled relationship is not an agreeing relationship it is a compromising relationship… Respect allows for the differences to blossom and the friendships to grow…

Be aware of the negative in your mind… it is food for darker ideas… Much has been said of the concept of ideas breed like ideas… A simple truth… If we are aware of our minds journey we can head it off and redirect it to another place… Difficult it some times is to see beyond the gray clouds to the blue sky behind them… Yet the path our mind takes is easier to follow and much more difficult to change once rambling off in one particular direction… Be aware of what direction we take at each cross road… be aware of the darker side of things to witch one can turn… A step back will ease the pressure and give us some time to add a smile or a bit of laughter to break the false nest that wraps itself about us…

Such ideals lead to places we need knot traverse… if we are aware we can steer our minds to more interesting places the sun rises and paints the world with a glow… and while some days it will rain the rain yields us the water we need to live… a sharing of the highs with the lows allows us room to bargain… room to share of the mind of each other… Where is this going… ? a question better left unwritten unspoken… untried are we in this pool… in this place cast free and set adrift…
