Compounded by memories that change each time they are recalled.

How do we view them, all these memories?
And how would we like to view them?
And how would we like others to view them?
Or maybe we wouldn’t want them to know of them at all?

We hide our true self a lot….for what?
We keep giving the world the lie, and then become the lie.
Very nicely penned.

“Very nicely penned.”
Thank you.
Here’s another of my pennings:

is disastrous.”

THE ONE MIND

Once homokaryotic
Now dikaryotic
No longer separated.
One! Bring forth fruiting bodies.
