*...The person you do not see...*




I Love The Sea



There is a twilight zone in our hearts that we ourselves cannot see. Even when we know quite a lot about ourselves-our gifts and weaknesses, our ambitions and aspirations, our motives and our drives-large parts of ourselves remain in the shadow of consciousness. This is a very good thing. 

We will always remain partially hidden to ourselves. Other people, especially those who love us, can often see our twilight zones better than we ourselves can. The way we are seen and understood by others is different from the way we see and understand ourselves. We will never fully know the significance of our presence in the lives of our friends. 

That's a grace, a grace that calls us not only to humility, but to a deep trust in those who love us. It is the twilight zones of our hearts where true friendships are born.

Moving forward
I have lived a long life, and I have seen a few things. I walked away from from situations that were detrimental to me. I have seen things you wouldn't believe, I have lost things you will never understand. And I know things, secrets that must never be told, knowledge that must never be spoken. 

Lastly,,,,,,,  I know this does not appear to have a meaning or a purpose, But:This is my problem. I want other people to tell me how they feel. But I'm not so sure I want to return the favor. Color me selfish or not knowing how!
