Shades of Gray
Bonnie Florea shares . . .
If you dealt with life more openly,
Would it be clearer?
If conversation was discussion,
Would there be less misinterpretations?
If the earth were dark more then it were light,
Would you think of people in color?
If there were no rules to guide you through life,
Would chaos reign, or would temptation have no strife?
Strange are the ways of black and white
That make the many shades of gray.
Drink the water that is clear, dash the pollution away,
Smell the scents that are sweet as nature designed.
Kiss the fear away.

Bonnie,
This is great!!! One of the things on my mind these days is just this. The balance between the "control and the flow" I call it. And you are so right to mention "grey". Because sometimes I get stuck in "binary mode" that is to say, fanatic for rules, then a fanatic for freedom... but in a dance class we were tangoing and since it is an all girls class - men are not "not accepted" they are just not "interested", i guess - we had to change roles. This made me realize how important it was to flow at sometimes and direct or control at others. All that to say that its all necessary and good, just need to work toward balance and grey! Thanks for the inspiring words!! Have a great day!!Green Queen
