W.O.W.
more oft than not ,
it is the painful interplay ,
of shadows ,
of bright ,
of darkness ,
of light
.
in life ,
in love ,
in mind ,
in spirit ,
.
that enhances and
improves and
refines and
{thereby}
tragicomically
enlightens
us
even if I died tonight ~
it wouldn’t matter if you knew how much I loved you
.
it only matters
TO ME
how much I loved you
.
~much, a.d.o.
you may have crushed my heart,
but you did not crush my spirit.
.
i did not shrink,
i let go,
i flourished,
i grew taller.
.
i forgave you,
i forgave myself.
i forgave the stars.
.
the love i have, the love i gave ~
is forever violet,
forgiving,
healing,
fragrant,
ever-radiant.
.
much, a.d.o.
inspired by ~
Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. ~ Mark Twain
success cannot be characterized.
.
success is not a stereotypical societal external circumstance
with a boiler-plated storybook description.
.
success is a personal decision,
from a personal perspective,
with a personal interpretation.

I am grateful for …
The life
I have been given
.
The life
I have accepted
.
The loves
I have let go
.
The laughter
I have experienced
.
The obsessions
I have not chased
.
The passions
I have pursued
.
