Chew Your Words Wisely...

-

How do folks correct what they don't know? I'm asked so often for answers; for direction. I also interject, but I don't expect to be taken seriously when its not been asked. Yet, I chuckle when I listen to my assessments. Undue and uncomfortable. Opinions are their own justifications.

While I appreciate folks' time, I am de-valued by their words. Judgements before and against feel the same over time. Its the situation that must be endured. Unable to put our hands in our mouths, unable to hold our tongues. Expressions which create pressure.

Perhaps there are no intentions. Label it abrasive feedback. Still, there is an anxiety to hold back or to absorb. Those words will take seed, the emotions like fertilizer, something fresh grows.

Are you gardening weeds or something sacred? Often, they are together. We must pan through our words to find nuggets. Decipher the valuables and speak them wisely. Refining our choices amd scoping the outcome toward a better crop for the future. Giving us food for thought and something nourishing to share with anyone around us.

Finding things we knew and can count upon makes a bed of confidence we can share. Perhaps more palatable. I can enjoy a decent bite if its volunteered. Finding value growing spices. Harvesting right on time. Making choices for the season. All things in due time.

Girlfriend Application

  by: Michael L. Craver This is the result of a quarter-century of time, hundreds of thousands of messages, and common sense. My best advice is to think hard... Show enthusiasm and creativity and tell the complete truth. The more well-thought out and precise every answer is, the better off everyone will be.  Here we go... 1.       Describe your transportation situation (i.e., own, rent, lease, hitchhiking): 2.       Describe your living situation (i.e., owner, renter, squatting, halfway house): 3.       Describe your career situation (i.e., full-time, part-time, crowdfunded, welfare): 4.       What is your availability (work schedule, custody, commitments)? 5.       Have you participated in adult entertainment (defined as selling photos, videos, performing on stage, or otherwise NSFW content with or without pay): 6.       Piercings, ink, and alterations (permanent or temporary such as nails, lashes): 7.       Why are you single [ also: there is no time o

by Michael L. Craver Giving birth is the beginning of a new journey. Changing times mean no path is certain. The chance to succeed or fail is beyond any math or science… An obligation to evasively maneuver the winding roads that will remain under construction for eternity. Carrying a weight of unknown potential and sacrificing every moment going forward- the gravity of decisions. The quality of our future depends on the choices of caregivers. The idea of ‘self’ is an extension of one’s body and incorporates everything that affects us. Doing for another is a karmic offering to the environment around us. The many moving elements of the world help determine each butterfly effect. What we do for ourselves includes the deeds toward others that bounce back our way. Mothers are the ultimate scientists. Raising these live studies in humanity. Mixing the need for compassion and emotional balance with the bold truth of where the world is today. Having to choose what may or will be… Many th
