We seek for the familiar,
demand what we have known,
consider quaint, alternatives;
reject what we are shown.
In holding to familiar,
we keep illusion near,
in comforting security
so certainty does breathe.

What a lovely poem-I specially loved the second para-so true:-)
ReplyDeleteI love this - so much truth in your words. We keep a death-grip on what we know because it's more comfortable than facing what we don't.
ReplyDeleteA truth put beautifully.
