The burnishing

“My first counsel is this, possess a pure, kind and radiant heart” (Baha’u’llah)

crow in woods torments

squirrel at bird feeder

neither of them will quit

neither of them will win

trauma of growing up

love and hate relationships

do not go away

there is no finish line

no final tabulation

sum of victory and loss

survive and move on

be kind to yourself and others
