In the innocence of who we are...
We seek out the truth in those around us...
Trusting and believing...
That we will find in them...
The very same truths that are evident in our lives...
In doing that....we do them such a disservice...
We have in fact only set them up for immediate failure.
Because we have set the bar by our standards...
And not taken into account...
Their life experiences....
And how those very experiences...
Have shaped them into the very person that they are.
Moral of the story.....
Always take the time to really get to know someone..
Before you label them as odd...or different...or just not "up to par"...
Truth be known....you really have no idea at all....
The life experiences that they have had to endure...
We are each different...in so many ways...
And it is those very differences that make up our individuality.
Special....unique..and yes sometimes a little odd...
But always...always....BEAUTIFUL.

Hey Kristy, love the poetry combined with the photos! Completely agree, when you multiply our genetic makeup, our experiences, and our encounters with a bunch of other unique individuals - that's one interesting product, which no label is sufficient to summarize.

Everett...thank you so much for your comment...I was really starting to think that maybe I was all alone out here on blogger. Good to know you're out there too. :)
