You Learn...

You Learn...

After a while, you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a ,
And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while, you learn…
That even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure…
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth…
And you learn and learn…
With every good-bye, you learn.

— Jorge Luis Borges, “You Learn”


"Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

Life is your road to walk alone. . others may walk it with you . . but no one can walk it for you.

I posted this about a year ago and just came across it again. Every time I read it, it blows me away ....
