Sometimes you read something and just know it needs to be shared. Diane Reed writes from the heart and in her own words, “In my lifetime, I have realized that a lesson is worth nothing unless you pass it on. My blog is a lot about learning lessons. Some I am still learning, some I would like to share with others.”
Visit Diane @The One Thing I know For Sure not only to read this post in its entirety [which you must read to the very end for that is where this life lesson lies] but also to peruse her many other writings: A soft place to fall, some poetry, some stories, some random thoughts but most of all a place that I hope blesses those who stop by.
To get the true perspective of this life lesson, be sure to read it on Diane’s blog!
I am but a vessel
that houses who I am
A symbol of the outside
where inside my soul lands
I’ll only love you if I really do
won’t fake it if I don’t
my ears have believed
a thousand lies
but my eyes…
well, they just won’t.
seems as if I’ve spent a lifetime
being someone
everyone wished I’d be
but suddenly
I’ve become
the most authentic
part of me!

Lately, I have done a lot of soul searching. Who are we really? I will tell you what I think. We are not the vessel we are wrapped up in. That is just a shell that carries us through out our journey.

This is absolutely refreshing & beautiful. It can be applied to just about everyone. It deals with all the racial prejudice and hatred issues at the same time. We are but vessels. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you, Bob! so GOOD to ‘see’ you! I do hope you have given some second thought to your blog! I am in the midst of showcasing photography with some of my poetry. Much better than searching Google images plus it does make a personal connection. I want to include you and your photography. I don’t have any set schedule. Will you keep your blog up even if you do not post anything new?
Yes. I’ve discovered in the short time I stopped that it’s me that needs to post. That gets me out and shooting. I rode my scooter over 200 miles today and came back with just two decent shots. That happens some day so no problem. I’ll be continuing to post.
YEA! 🙂 I will get back with you on the feature post!
I can’t find the like button on this one??
It will be on Diane’s site since it is a reblog. Good to ‘see’ you! 🙂
