A long-gone poet is not an exact stand-in for a friend who has known you through the decades, I understand. Still, to know that your emotions have been felt by another human, no matter how many centuries and cultures removed from your own, settles the breathing a bit, doesn't it?

We live in difficult times in a world full of trouble, strife and disaster, trying to carry the woes and worries of the whole world in my hands or on my own shoulders is impossible. It does not mean I am uncaring or cannot empathise with your suffering & difficulties of the past months. <br /><br />My way to deal when situations such as yours hit home, it is to find just one person in need and help them, in what way I can, to have a better life.<br /><br />Time to remember Deepak Chopra<br /><br />“What other people think of you is not your business.

As soon as you recognise them for what they are, shoo them away fast.

I still continue to be amazed at my stupidity in being taken as if from left field. By many. BUT I've learned a lot. This time. I will not trust so easily again.<br />Sorry to hear about your troubles and how you were taken advantage of. Trust as well I expect.<br />XO<br />WWW Wisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-49142931462588074752015-05-04T15:26:25.203-02:302015-05-04T15:26:25.203-02:30So happy for you, WWW, that you "agreed to sp...So happy for you, WWW, that you "agreed to speak". I don't want to sound like Churchill but do commend spirit in the face of adversity.<br /><br />With the poem I can not agree. I will "meet malice at the door" but most certainly not let it in. I once knocked at a door (about six years ago) and malice let me in and met me. I do not believe in Karma but will make an exception for this woman and her heartlessness. I hope she'll cut her fingers on everything she took from me. Nothing of value to her, of so much (emotional) value to me. I am not vengeful otherwise I'd torched her in the intervening years. As it is, when the wound doesn't bleed any longer the scar serves as an unwelcome reminder.<br /><br />With you in my heart, not least because despite the little I know of you, I believe you hurt on a scale I have been spared.<br /><br />Hug,<br />U<br />Ursulanoreply@blogger.com
