Sometimes,
between the wall that divides us,
grows a single rose.

Get Rid and Live
Once you get rid of the riffraff, the world is calm and beautiful.

Recipe for Letting Go
In a cast iron skillet, add:
their negative comments
crass looks
middle fingers
curse words
belittlement
bullying
judgements
betrayal
lies
venom
Do NOT let the ingredients boil over, cause a fire, or ruin the pan (you might need it later)
Let simmer for 5 minutes to a near lifetime
until the mixture boils down to nothing but serenity (ignore the initial stench)
Hint: The less it stews, the more time you have for adding fresher vegetables

Grandma parked her Ferrari
and rushed through the door
of the Moxie Courageous Everything Store.
“I need one sturdy jump rope,
two twenty-pound weights,
elbow and knee pads
and blue roller skates.”
“Will that be all?” the salesman said.
Grandma looked at the ceiling
and then shook her head.
“I need a large sack of forgiveness,
‘No cost,’ I was told,
‘If you give it out freely,
it will lighten your load.'”
He pulled down the sack
from the highest of shelves
and smiled when he said,
“I might give some myself.”
She lifted her items
and knew who she’d call
for the bag wasn’t heavy,
not heavy at all.
