In our life many things come to us,
Some we accept,
Some we dismiss.
In dismissing them
Do we miss something?
Something that could take us,
Take us to a better place.
Our minds must be kept open,
Open to look at those things,
Look at them properly.
We may then ignore them
But at least they have been seen,
Have been investigated.
We must come to realise
That our mind is like a parachute,
It does not work
If it is not open.
So always keep an open mind,
We may be pleasantly surprised
At what comes into it,
And comes into our lives.
A mind is like a parachute, it does not work if it is not open. - Frank Zappa
