One Eye Closed

Such are sticks and stuff,
the stones we cast upon each other,
that we see not what we cast,
only that which is delivered upon us.

Just playing with words.

  Thanks, Jazz. I had the word “such” stuck in my head, and I needed to get it out.

You’re right. Half the time I don’t think anyone realizes how what they say affects others. The recipient might have the patience and take the time to explain it to them so it can be a teaching-learning moment, but most of the time the silence speaks and there is a diminishment that is felt both inwardly and outwardly.

  Thanks, Lisa. And thank you for this observation. Consequences. We’re too often aware of them only when we experience them ourselves.
