My psyche is so powerful that it even tuned me into another song, to prepare me for what was ahead...
A new version of this oldie played repeatedly on the radio. Eventually, I was putting my own CD on repeat at this track. I was being prepared for the 14th of October 2010, the day I had to remember a Dr. Philism; "You teach people how to treat you". I was about to succumb to rationality, when I heard his voice. I then lay me down like a bridge over troubled water...
The water has not yet calmed down; I continue to be my own bridge over troubled water...
Lyrics | Simon And Garfunkel lyrics - Bridge Over Troubled Water lyrics
this is such a true-ism: teachign others how to treat you.from my own experience, I'm often thinking I'm teaching someone else this very thing and it doesnt go as I'd like it to in that moment; but I embrace the moment anyway because I am also teaching myself. Nice post, Lorraine.amy gigi
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, yes, you awaken me to the truth that maybe the biggest lesson is to oneself: It is more important to love myself and show respect to myself,and expect to be treated with respect and love than to take the "easy way out". Thank you.
