Dear Friend

It appears that I have arrived
at the place where I do not judge
anyone, anymore.

I have been blessed with a stable
mind and temperament,
at least enough to see
that everyone has a reason
for what they do.

And so do I:
I do not want to be unhappy
with anyone or anything
anymore.

You might respond,
"that is impossible
that any person could accomplish
such a thing."

I would agree and
that is my point.
I am no longer the person
you once knew.

Not to say that person is gone.
I still meet him occasionally.
I treat him with the same respect
and humility as anyone.

But unfortunately, my time
is limited and to indulge
his crazy notions is not
something I wish to do.
