Day 331 – On with the fun:
It is hard to imagine but I have been busier than I intended to be, because there is just so darned many things I must get done.
“The only way can write the truth is to assume that what you set down will never be read.”
–Margaret Atwood, author of “The Blind Assassin”
I am not certain that this is completely true as I often write and everything I write is true, except when it isn’t and was never meant to be.
Sometime in 2008 I found a note I had made to myself, while I was disposing of things in my office. I believe it was intended to be developed into a poem, which never found the light of day, until now.
“I nodded to a blind man the other day as we passed by each other on the street. I was as pleasant and cautious as I could possibly be, but it was not until we had each passed each other by that he had paid no attention to me.”
I made it a point to share this, as I believe, many of us have good intentions as we go through our daily things, but often forget that others do not see everything as we do. Our kind intentions do not always come across as we intend them, while our silence goes no further than the thoughts in our heads.
Note — There is still a possibility I may simply nod my head to a person who cannot see, providing I do not realize they cannot but more often than not I will wish those I pass by a good day.
