I walk with you sometimes.
You have a lot to say.
Though you make me reflect and ponder and query… it’s never good things you say.
I prefer to part ways with you.
It’s important to not spend much time with you.
You’re too demanding.
And might I say, not very helpful at all.
Whatever it is you walk with
You don’t have to.

Hi Ivor, yes I think I understood…I was just thinking, that words do not count anything if you do not follow them…so why do people not follow? Often because they never believed in what they said and for the once who really meant what they said it must be a big deal with struggles and anxiety…. searching for a helping hand they start to slip on the icy way…

One of the sadest posts of you, that I ever read. Struggling, thinking negative , searching the faults ‚outside‘, talking and expecting too much… makes me feel guilty.

Why do you feel guilty Anie? (This wasn’t meant to be sad, I’m sorry it felt that way to you.)

Don’t worry, Colleen!!! It is always our own attitude how we look at things.Yoga lessons always preach me to avoid negative people. Today, I rather think that it is more about not being infected with negativity, because people who we love and who we want to help, we will not abandon.
And then in life there are also phases in which we are negative and struggling and, of course, we do not want to be dropped.
So this sadness came through this thoughts, but in your illustration I see that it can also be about our own dark sides that we have to leave, which is also motivating ….)

I thank YOU and it shows again, that not only “understanding” brings people together , but also “misunderstandings”…( if communicated)…it leads us to a bigger “understanding”/ sympathie so to say…; )

Wow! I think this is a very healthy perspective, Colleen. I like the fact that you acknowledge sometimes the “information shared” might be thought-provoking, that doesn’t make it something you want to digest!

I have found in times of being ‘down’ or ‘angry’ I’ve had to face truths or different perspectives. Not that I ‘wanted’ to necessarily. But being in those places doesn’t mean we aren’t hearing things….

Sometimes I do things I really don’t feel comfortable doing, because of some subconscious thought that I must do it. But some things, you don’t have to do. If it is better for your health and sanity not to do them, then don’t! Great reminder, Colleen, and excellent images to go along with it!

Colleen, it sounds like you have had a real difficult time with someone. I am sorry you had that to dealwith. My sister is one who drags us/me down, but you are so right to say that you don’t have towalk with them. Sadly, guilt kicks in, and for me personally causes me to have problems walking away. But sometimes for our own sake we have to. Hope that you can jyst walk away and rest yourself. X

Oh Lorraine, thank you so kindly for your comment. Actually I have not had a difficult time. Often times I write from something that prompted me through daily interactions, or observations, or just random thoughts that come to my head. Here, I liked the image of me being able to push ‘a’ negative thought or feeling away. The image was playing in my head and I just went with it.
I’m sorry you have that going on with you. I hope you can kick that guilt to the curb and do what you need to do for you!!
