erykah badu's grandmother & my grandmother had similar teachings.
they told us to pick our friends like we pick our fruit.
so i do.
every once in a while, though, we never get that good feel of a spoiled spot until we bit into them.
and that's fine.
we simply must learn to tell the difference between.
the difference between what is & what isn't.
and then there's a story i like to share:
the chick was running around the farm being chased by the cat - hoping not to get eaten.
the rooster saw what was going on & grabbed the chick and threw him into a pile of cow doo doo to hide him.
the cat ran around and around looking, but couldn't find him.
until...
he saw a feather sticking out of the doo doo.
the cat went over, pulled the chick out, and had his dinner.
moral of the story:
those who get you into shxt aren't always your enemies.
those who get you out of shxt aren't always your friends.
so today i pray:
-----
dear God:
please allow my circle to be strong. please allow my decisions to be a great as they can be. and please allow me to learn from whatever comes from it all.
amen.
