Afraid Of The Dark
Samer Amin said:

A bat can find his prey so easily in the dark because of his sophisticated echo-detecting system, but I did not cross my mind before that the daylight can hinder or confuse its radar until I have read your beautiful poem. Maybe that is why bats are nocturnal hunters.

ok please don\'t take offence or judge me too harshly, but do feel free to cringe: your words took me back to Summer romances and a song by Dan & Shay titled \'nothin like you\',
what a wonderful gift of reminisced romance, you\'ve gifted with these unassuming words

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!

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.
