The truth is, it’s hard to look at someone who is close to you, familiar to you, with new eyes every day and let them be…whoever they want to be on that day. We put expectations on people. We bring our own life experience and social conditioning to their picture. I have done it. Used to do it daily. Without ever examining my thoughts, I just made assumptions about folks. Assumed I could trust someone even though maybe they can’t keep secrets. Assumed someone was a peaceful, centered person when inside they were falling apart at the seams. Assumed someone liked green beans, or whatever. It was me projecting my stuff on them.

sometimes i wish my eyes were not as wide and my dreams were not as big and my heart was not as open.
sometimes i just wish i didn’t fall in love with the world so easily.
Dream remembered - the sublime ones
too elusive […] large slices of snow…
