Some people keep turning the tables on others,
In fact, I have met some that I thought their table had a spin top,
And so I have found that by not putting my time or resources on their table,
Or by simply walking away, these are ways to make their turning the tables on me to stop,
Of course, the lure is there to try again and maybe things have changed,
But a turn table is a turn table no motter how the chairs around it are arranged.

#67 "Disguise Bullets" By Susan Pearl
In my opinion cruel and demeaning words are like bullets in disguise,
The words penetrate us and wound our vulnerable areas we keep hidden inside,
I've heard that it takes two to ten kind words to make up for every one cruel word that came and went,
Isn't being cruel and demeaning the makings of an extremely painful lop sided event?
I think it truly is sad and shoud be rectified,
Because too many tears have been cried,
And for a healing process within us to begin,
The anxiety of the bullets in disguise can end,
When we know the cruel words spoken are not true,
And we can't let them hurt us like we used to do.
And so I guess,
Having self esteem can protect us like wearing a bullet proof vest.

#65 "News" By Susan Pearl
All of us in life are an automatic candidate,
For experiencing and learning to live with a heartache,
Because so much of life is left to time and chance,
And time and chance are left to unknowm circumstance,
So each day that goes by that is kind and without painful news,
Is a gracious day and may be best used,
To know what we have while we have it and to realize and appreciate the gift life, too,
This wisdom brings a special peace of mind for the time of whatever we do go through.

#64 "Reverence" By Susan Pearl
I was told once the the highest form of respect is reverence.
For some reason I have remembered that statement for many years.
The utmost form of respect is to have and to show reverence.
Can a person have the utmost form of respect --- reverence towards things of this earth?
In my opinion the answer is "Yes".
A person can have reverence for the land, for the work of their hand,
For the life and rights of ourselves and others,
For marriage, for ethics, for treatment of environment and living creatures.
Does haning such reverence take away from giving the proper reverence and exclusive reverence to God.
In my opinion, "No", this does not take away from true reverence for God.
The reason I say that is because even though a person has reverence for these things and for people,
At the very same time a person recognizes that everything and everyone is owned only by God and the utmost respect for such ownership gives God exclusive sovereignty over all.
By having reverence for the sovereignty and ownership of God over everything gives true reverence to God while having at the same time the utmost respect for God's creations.
This, in my opinion, is having true reverence and the realization of responsible stewardship of this earth.

#63 "A Process" By Susan Pearl
Is it fair to say that anything we see has gone through some sort of process, or is currently going through some sort of process?
Is it, also, fair to say that everyone we see is going through a process?
Are there two kinds of process --the process of change--or the process of preservation to preserve against further change?
Is life an ongoing process of change while preserving the values we have learned to be true?
Did learning these values to be true bring us through a process in some sort of way to become the person we are today?
And so the process continues that will define as we go through this life of change and preservation that is happening at the same time.

#62 "Two Ways" By Susan Pearl
There are some who want to be the only one in control,
There are others who want to welcome others and learn to co-exist,
For one, a common connection is constantly looked for,
For the other, a commom connection will be consistantly missed,
One will lead towards the betterment with respect establishing dignity for all,
The other will dictate the next thoughts for others to think and not answer any pleading call,
One will last as long as people want to live back in the past,
The other goes on and on where the differences all belong to making it strong.
