Proudful, willful, arrogance, meanness, ignorance and stupidity
comes to mind in reference to Jesus' exhortation,
"Do not throw pearls before swine,
or give dogs what is holy."

Walk on by
in search of kindness, compassion, grace, peace, safety and sincerity--
knowing that those who seek these things
will find them,
and join together with them in making wherever we are
a truly good place to be.

If you can do better than that,
by all means, do!

What would it take
for you to be at one with yourself,
at peace with how things are,
at home in the time and place of your living?

Why would you want more than that?
What would you do with more than that?

Of all that you are doing,
what is yours to do?

How much of what you do in a day
exhibits/reflects/expresses/reveals/incarnates
YOU?

How much of you is unknown to you
because you won't allow it
to come forth into your life,
into the world?

Why hold anything back?

What are you trying to get,
gain, have, acquire
by holding it back
that is more valuable 
than it would be
if you granted it full expression?

How is what you want
interfering with who you are?

Whose side are you on?

Upon what does being at one with yourself,
at peace with how things are,
at home in the time and place of your living,
depend?
