It's In The Air

"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." -William Arthur Ward

For some reason, I sense that there is pain today, maybe even bitterness...

Are we both feeling it? Maybe it's something in the way the wind is blowing...

If it is what I am sensing, I know its being ignored, pushed aside, swept under the rug, for nobody wants to admit it and feel what could create agony...

I think I can softly hear it whispering to me, but I am just shy of acknowledging its presence...

I don't know if that's healthy or not...but it seems appropriate for now.

I pray for the absence of my warm, salty tears...
