Shall I?

I'm thinking of changing my name, at least for a time,
from Kindred Spirit to Miss Understood or, better yet,
Miss Construed. Shall I? It's something to ponder...

Well

I am a well,
deep and strong.
I wait.
You come along,
but not too close
for fear of falling
into the heart of me.
I hear your approach;
and the sound
of your footsteps
echoes through the depths,
of my soul.
The whole of me is there,
though your eyes can only see
a part of me.
There is only so much I may show.
How little you really know of me!


Have you seen?

Obscure...

"I have not the pleasure of understanding you."

Seldom

"Seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised or a little mistaken."

--Jane Austen

To answer your question...

"Obstinate, headstrong girl! I am ashamed of you!..."

--Lady Catherine to Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice

Thank You for my life...

This gift is mine to hold but for a while; then I must return it to the One who gave it to me. It is such a treasure, more precious than all of the riches of the world, and what will I do with it in the time which is left for me to possess it? My eyes are just beginning to see its beauty, my mind is just beginning to grasp its worth. The days pass so quickly, and my life is such a wonder. May I never waste another moment of it.
