Empathy Taken
Doggerel Dave said:
On the other hand........ Let\'s try to take a more global view of \'advice\' please:
After all, It\'s everywhere; some seek it out - self help books, as an example are ubiquitous as bookshops and I need advice from a friend from time to time.
TRUST the key here. Advice accepted if trust exists. Trust is, or should be the lubricant in all human interaction.
Regards Dave

Empathy Taken
L. B. Mek said:
good write and very true,
so easy to get lost in \'well meaning\' and step over that line to \'overbearing\', personally I simply try to apologise in advance for any conceived misunderstanding to my intent - I can anticipate: but sadly, that\'s often - not enough to avoid the consequences yielded by our fallible nature...

Plenty of kneejerk, thoughtless, valueless advice around isn\'t there.
Like the advice about the vaccination, there is some really silly advice knocking around on that one.
Oh I\'m so sorry to hear of your fear of the virus but don\'t take the vacconation LOL. You must be joking.... gimmie that jab!

Lilies

Maybe, it is because of their surrounding adverse circumstances, or their individual hereditary susceptibility.
Anyway, I think, if they get much attention, the ratio of their survival might increase.
By the way, there is a sense of nice harmony within the colors of your mosaic art work.

Haibun for Linda
Robert Southwick Richmond said:
Haibun is a new one on me. Invented by haiku pioneer Matsuo BashÅ, it combines verse (haiku) and prose. Here Jerry follows a prose text with a 5-7-5 syllable verse. I also learned \"prosimetric\" as a generic for texts alternating verse and prose. Aucassin et Nicolette comes to mind in the western traditions.

Normal Of Heart
L. B. Mek said:
indeed, that \'normality\' is getting more and more harder to identify with,
some of the absurdities we have witnessed this COVID months defies belief,
I can\'t fathom a \'Fictional Plot\', where its characters are so self-indulgently obscene, they would act-out some of these despicable acts of callous inhumanity we are becoming so \'used-to\'
and those deplorable \'news tannoy\'s\', profiting of other\'s miseries with such blatant glee...
so depressing to contemplate,
yet still: we Must endure, if only when we think of how many have sacrificed their lives for us to be able to waste our\'s so brazenly...
this write cut too fcken close to that raw nerve \'we pretend\' isn\'t stretching-out our tethered grasp of sanity,
for me to slalom past (it) as a mere delectable read Jerry,
far, far too close
thanks for sharing!

Happy New Year
L. B. Mek said:
so true, those \'freshly pulled\' beers at our local \'public houses\' taste so much better than a \'can of beer at home\' for some reason, lol
liked the hopeful tint to your words Jerry, a good read
