Relationships vs. the way
things are going well here. Starting to realize some folks interpret things more in terms of the aesthetic or the way of things and some focus more on the relationships at hand. It’s like that old Chinese proverb. A wise man was pointing out the moon and the other man (foolishly ) looked at the wise man’s finger.
Life’s a balance of both at times. I admire my Dad’s keen sense of relationships and my stepmom's too. They always took care of us and the essentials and told us not to sweat the small stuff.

I definitely have orchestrated my life into essential relationships to heal and get along . Whether it was with my understanding of design or art or myself and wisdoms about myself and life. I know we all struggle but I came back early to my room tonight to write. I am so grateful Blue is here for many reasons. I have made my room ‘just so’ and I can relate to that but it’s certainly not enough. My relationship with Blue another being was the best idea my therapist gave to me. I may have arranged my life to avoid pain but in learning to take care of myself, the giving of loving relationships is so vital and valuable. Nourishing, encouraging compassion and companionship.
