Life's Lesson

After a while you learn the subtle difference between

holding a hand and chaining a soul,

You learn that love doesn't mean leaning

and company doesn't mean security,

You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises,

You begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open,

with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child,

You learn to build all your roads on today because

tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,

instead of waiting for someone to send flowers to.

And you learn that you really can endure...that you really are strong,

and you really do have Oneness with GOD!

A study of the Eqyptian hieroglyphic reveals that the Negative Confession of "polluting and defiling oneself" actually refers to masturbation or the irregular emission of semen, NOT sodomy.
