I think…it's not hard reading people.
Especially if you've known them (actually, pondered and analysed their behaviours, reactions & interactions, principles, obsessions, manners, quirks, thought-processes, values, history, stimuli, upbringing, conditioning, and OF COURSE the opinion of their friends…) for a long time. I think intrinsically, you could, if you care enough to – know what the person is up to – and why.


It's just a matter of acceptance. understanding.
And already, a forgiveness.
Plus, whatever expectations you hold from that person.
And, on top of that -  you have to consider your very own opinion and
feelings toward which ever matter.  All the time aware your reaction is critical

to maintaining - all things that shape that friendship or relationship.

But I could be wrong.
Maybe we never really know anybody.
Or ourselves for that matter,
And we can only perceive and apply acceptance

when the moment is upon us.

I must really sound like I have been through
a lot of soul-searching.

Not really. I don't have the luxury of time and space.
Right now.

This morning, despite the tricked-up insanities

life just put me through – and JUST AS I am
questioning my faith. I, ironically, had to instill
faith, speak of it with unwavering conviction
to someone who needs it most.

Outward, I am composed – calm and confident.

Inside, I am a wreck. I hope God, that you hear those prayers
someone so very important to me so ardently
needs to be heard. This is crucial to not one, but
many lives. Please, please, help.
