Questions Over Oatmeal

Should we forgive for too much?

warmth
pain
love
hurt

Should we forget but for the world?

memories
space
collision
chaos

Should we do too much?

flashing
circling
consuming
breathing

Is it possible to do too much, except live?
Is it possible to extricate sorrow?


There will always be sorrow.
But he can wait.

and which brand of oatmeal would that be?

the mushy melt-in-your-mouth variety that let you forgive and forget, or the grainy sepia ones which linger uncomfortably?

like a thought grenade this explodes in the head and gets you thinking, questioning.

inkblot - The instant kind that's really quick, satisfying and fills an immediate need.

On second thought, that doesn't sound so good. I'll go with grainy sepia.

cocaine jesus - A thought grenade... Can I use that?

Hopefully not too much thinking and questioning. I'm convinced it will drive a man mad.

**silvermOOn** - No allergies, hope it doesn't dampen your season.

Banishing the word 'should' - very tao of them. 'Just being' is difficult with an ego, though I'm working on it...

I love the tone of conviction in that final line. I am reminded that indulging in any emotion, letting it wash over one's self, can be a matter of choice. ^_^

A thought-provoking piece. Thank you.

soulless - No. Thank you. I think you captured it magnificently. Indulging or rejecting emotion can definitely be a matter of choice, though, like any sharp weapon, should be used carefully.
