All that you give returns threefold, or so they say.
Or they used to, anyway. I do not know if that still holds true. Sometimes it does not seem to.
The world has moved on in a lot of ways. Maybe such concepts just refuse to stick around anymore.
I do not know.
Laughter. That uncertain, awkward laughter one uses while scratching their head and looking down at their shoes. Are those my shoes? I suppose they must be. Heh. Alrighty. Hello shoes.
I seem to be staring at my shoes a lot in life. Awkward laughter and all.
Trees… They do not concern themselves with these things. Nor do big granite stones.
And they do not have shoes to awkwardly laugh about.
I then give myself to the wisdom of trees and stones. Perhaps I’ll grok at least some of the things yet.

I too think those times have passed. I wouldn’t mind getting back onefold of what I give … mustn’t think that way, I suppose. Think I’ll just stare at my shoes too, and the trees and stars and flowers. It’s a much better view than what’s on the human horizon. Thanks, Mike, for sharing this. Stay safe. 🙏🙏🙏
I don’t pretend to understand much of anything anymore.
One day at a time, eh?
Thank you. You stay safe too.
I was painfully shy growing up. You’re right on with the wisdom of the trees and stones.
Same here. Then I learned to feign extroversion; smokes and booze seemed to be the enablers. Now that I don’t smoke and am sober, I can hardly talk to my own shoes without fumbling.
Trees and stones have no need to babble. I now think chatter is what might be the gateway to being the idiot I sometimes reveal myself to be…
Thanks Bob, I always appreciate your input 🙏🏼
I don’t drink anymore either. That was the enabler in my 20’s. So it’s back to the quite life. Which I like. I agree, chatter is often gateway to being an idiot for me too.
😅 I still manage to invoke my inner idiot. Regularly.
Here’s to the quiet life. May you find yours…
Thank you.
I’m feeling like I’m getting about 20fold back and I’d like to thank all of you on WP for that.
I’m glad that’s working the right way💕
