I love the melancholy of this piece...

Good judgement...

It's not judging to have eyes.
It's not judging to know something.
You don't have to walk in someone else's shoes to see they are about to walk off a cliff.
If you see someone about to walk off a cliff, yell and stop them.
You can judge in service without out a haughty or arrogant heart.
You were born to judge just as you were born to think.
Your whole life is a series of judgements and adjustments.
Don't let people batter you from the bully-pulpit about judging to the point that you suppress your common sense.
They are not holier than you because they call their judging "discernment."
Don't listen to "non-judgers," who judge your judgement; it's hypocritical hogwash.

We judge people constantly.
We were born to judge.
You can judge a behaviour without condemning a soul.
Someone's salvation is out of your jurisdiction but once they have opened their mouth the invitation to judge is irretractable.
People often use the "judgement card" to hide when you are getting too close to the truth for comfort.
Hang on to your judgement.
Good judgement will keep you safe.
Good judgement can and does save lives.
Don't be afraid of your rightful power to judge others.
Judging is one of your most powerful tools you have to protect those you care about, and yourself, from harm.

— Bryant McGill

Humble Flower...

Humble flower — no magnate, president, or king, was ever appointed with such authority as thee.
How many mighty souls have knelt in submission, before the grand estate, of your delicate blossoms?
Kings will stop and bow down, to look upon the greater majesty, of a simple flower.
The flower rules supreme, not by force, but through the victory of beauty.
The flower's beauty goes not unrequited, as its lovers and attendants serve their glorious beloved.

— Bryant McGill

Learning this slowly...

Stepping stones...

“September has come, it is hers
Whose vitality leaps in the autumn,
Whose nature prefers
Trees without leaves and a fire in the fireplace.
So I give her this month and the next
Though the whole of my year should be hers who has rendered already
So many of its days intolerable or perplexed
But so many more so happy.
Who has left a scent on my life, and left my walls
Dancing over and over with her shadow
Whose hair is twined in all my waterfalls
And all of London littered with remembered kisses.”

― Louis MacNeice, Autumn Journal

I'm going to give my psychoanalyst one more year, then I'm going to Lourdes.
