Everyone should be given the chance to be new every minute, Not labeled, limited and listed in catalogued classification. Foolish words uttered yesterday are unsaid by the setting sun, washed away by the new moon tides: fresh thoughts have already begun. Release me from patterned opinion, let me be new; and i'll tear up the stagnant records i kept about you. Everyone should be given the chance to be born again minute by minute, The world isnt standing still nor anything in it.........

Hi shontavayous
A most interesting concept - if only we could tear up aspects of our past... I could think of a thousand things I wish I could delete from my past.
I wish you well in your attempts at reconcilliation with your father.
Best wishes
Bill

I love your line "to be new every minute" When we become aware that life is just moments we start to live in appreciation of who we are.We all have the capacity to be not so beatiful but but! Foolish words uttered yesterday are unsaid by the setting sun, washed away by the new moon tides: fresh thoughts have already begun. I think your Dad will see your beautiful you, as you will also tear up the past stagnant words. Just great expression. I loved it.

Thank you for the comments i appreciate the great sentiment. just working on being like a tree, all effected by its surroundings yet uneffected. After a storm, being limbed etc They still remain a tree. In challenging environments they adapt. I love nature it reminds me to just be a human be-ing, not to get caught up in the human do-ing so much.
