This sounds like sound advice for man...Hey Sherry,<br /><br />This sounds like sound advice for many folks in times of stress.<br /><br />Let me share some questions and thoughts:<br /><br />In your first stanza you say, "Be the Observer of this and Imperfect Pageant."<br /><br />Is the imperfect pageant the supposedly unsettling thing the other person is doing, or the persons response to that activity -- their unsettledness? <br /><br />I am not sure that "ignoring" is great advice because it is a judgement that seems to say: "They are wrong, they disturb me. But I want to stay peaceful so I will ignore them -- well, unless there is one nice thing there."<br /><br />For some, this may be better than getting angry, but ideally they could still hear and not ignore but let it sit, without judgement, acknowledging what you can and letting the difference sit. But getting clear on the differences can often be more useful than ignoring them just because they irritate you.<br /><br />No?<br /><br />I just discovered that a "Salal" is an evergreen from your area in the Pacific NW.<br />Sabio Lantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963476276106907984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-81165704326891550412012-12-09T11:31:41.504-08:002012-12-09T11:31:41.504-08:00Sherry, this is just what I needed to hear--and it...Sherry, this is just what I needed to hear--and it is stunningly beautiful--especially the ending--peace to you this holiday seasonAudrey Howitt aka Divaloungerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854425983822589062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-81303094587500083712012-12-09T09:08:22.036-08:002012-12-09T09:08:22.036-08:00Thank you to all you beautiful people, for reading...Thank you to all you beautiful people, for reading my words.

Reading this provided me a moment where I felt like I was walking bare foot in a pathway of pebbles where the distraction from the jagged stones is in the correct focus yet knowing and feeling these stones under my naked feet as a reminder of the constant stimulus of life. You are next to me singing these words of wisdom. You are my sage of seeing, feeling witnessing life's diurnal journey.<br /><br />Gracias mi amigaMarcoantonio Arellano (Nene)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10713672589582754484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-45720234840845666282012-12-09T00:19:17.574-08:002012-12-09T00:19:17.574-08:00Excellent advice.Excellent advice.J Cosmo Newberyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459976320205444628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-52243461449516281292012-12-08T22:59:55.699-08:002012-12-08T22:59:55.699-08:00O Sherry, you are in a state of Grace; I hear God ...O Sherry, you are in a state of Grace; I hear God speaking through you and You shape your words to pull me so gently into your wisdom.
