Force doesn't work
Every honest person knows what they like and what they dislike
No one can force another to feel something they don’t
Every honest person knows what they love and what they don’t love
Every self-aware person knows this or that
sees this or that
wants this or that
Or maybe sometimes both
An honest person can love both ice cream and watermelon for dessert
A sensitive person can find more than one thing to avoid or abhor
Its living in the center of our own choices that makes us unique
Each individual who is awake knows that their life is most interesting with some variety
Love this, don’t like this, love that, don’t want something else
Moment to moment
Day to day
Year to year
My years are divided into two parts:
The school year of constant work and
my summer when I am outdoors
I love the birds who visit
I love my roses
I just planted some apple trees
I nap with the cats
I play the piano
I love the summertime
