Disabused

This day has had surprise gifts in it,
just when I’d trained myself
not to expect any. But that,
as it turns out, is today’s humbling —
Life takes me down a peg or two
by offering tangible things
to make me happy,
proving I don’t need to go it alone

And my belief that I did
was making too much of myself —
I needed to be disabused of that presumption.
I can’t say I mind.

  1. What is it?? Universal paths … the past 3 posts fit my days perfectly
    It’s almost uncanny
    Is there a wind that blows us all through the same mental state even if manifested differently in our individual lives?? The mental images are exactly the same as mine all week

    All the Best
