It is important for one to be grounded. <br />With a solid and sound identity. <br />To know who one is by living the 'experience'. <br />Making mistakes and going through heartbreaks... <br />With aches and pains. <br />Sustain to affect emotions! <br />This aids the growth process. <br />And ushers in a maturity. <br />Allowing one to eventually... <br />Listen to others patiently with silent lips. <br />And perfect the raising of one eyebrow at a time. <br />When one discovers they have found, <br />That technique leaves them with a peace of mind... <br />Only then can it be said, <br />They know 'who' they are and can communicate... <br />Without a word to be spoken. <br />And left assured their respect is intact. <br />Even though a few may need a hint or two. <br /> <br />'What does the raised right eyebrow mean? ' <br /> <br />Back off! <br /> <br />'Oh? <br />OH! <br />Oh...I'll catch you at a more convenient time! '<br /><br />Lawrence S.
