That’s quite true, Rose. Sometimes we need to review and think differently to try to understand why people react in those ways… can be therapeutic too. Thank you for your insight and reflection, very much appreciated. βΊ πΉ
Very reflective and thought provoking, Iris. I think we do look back to the past, many times with regret, sometimes with precious memories. It is a mixed bag. Lovely poem.
Thank you, Lana, for the insightful words… they are perceptive and meaningful. The precious memories are the positive ones to reflect on and to help people move on in life and grow… I do appreciate your thoughts. β€
Time, memory, flashbacks – theyΒ΄re so tricky and not always easy to handle. Your lovely poem said it all in only a few words – I admire your skill enormously, Iris, it astonishes me everytime! π β€ π¨
I find it challenging to be able to encourage someone and to comfort… this is really rewarding! People need kindness and there are so many hurting in our world today. A listening ear and someone to empathise with them,helps them to think differently… thank you for your time and reflection on this poem, Sarah. πΉ π» π
