Forgive me
I thought you were making a mistake
Seen from the outside
It sometimes appears the case
I forget
We are all given
Our internal guide
Who knows best
For
Us
People offer advice sometimes
On what seems to suit them best
I forgot.
My
Lips
Are
Now
Compressed
I retreat
Retired
Whatever horse your choose
It’s yours
Enjoy the ride

Sometimes you have to let them fall off the horse, so they learn to ride better.
Or just decide they don’t like horses 😁 very true though.
Great thoughts. That internal voice can definitely get us in difficult situations! It’s best to learn from mistakes. It’s easier then to rise up from them in experience, as eob2 said above. Excellent piece here!
Thanks Lucy. It would seem learning is optional in life but I definitely prefer it is an option and some things maybe don’t get learned any other way then through.
My comments on yesterdays post still don;t show but I want you to know that it touched me – it was beautiful!
And … how’s things with your publishing deal?? 🙂
Hi! Oh why don’t they show? Will have to go check. Thankyou for the heads up thought things have been quiet the last couple of day’s. Yes working my way through stacks of information. I thought getting the deal was the hard part turns out it’s just the start – oh well keep wading 😂
Maybe it’s a fault at my end or gremlins in the ether. It seemed to load but then as I scrolled back through my feed later, I noticed no comment. Tried it again and same happened. Frustrating but WP acts up for me sometimes.
I am confident that you’ll soon wade yourself into a position where you can kick-off and swim!! Hope so and wish you the best of luck with it!!
It’s difficult to watch a loved one make the wrong choice and remain silent.
You are so right. Sometimes you have to shut your mouth and let them ride.
Absolutely they have their own internal compass just as we do and past a certain age so can only hold the horse and offer a leg up.
Great post, so true as a parent and also on receiving parenting advice too…
Oh yes they are very good at telling me politely to get on my own horse and go for a ride 😂😂
