We are not large enough at first.
As we emerge into teenage years
small minded
restricted of heart, and will.
Slowly lifes pains and pressures
work their way
into the soft marrow of our bodies
We expand; or we explode.
from the inside out
wisdom comes
and molds us;
or tries to.
eventually
we come face to face
with ourself
and our self in others
we come to it the hard way, at a late hour
or
if smart enough to be lucky
timeously
and with joy

That is loverly; especially in the way that it seems to struggle and push at first ,.... then break out with joy at the end. It makes me feel the way I do when I see a blade of bright green break out through the tarmac. You are lucky enough to be smart too ...... X
i only have to feel the warmth of that sun to know that i am some how, impossible so, lucky.
