Skeletons In The Closet

Letting It All Out

Most have skeletons in the cupboard buried deep never to surface for others to observe, life is strange we all similar, never the same yet we hide parts of who we are irrespective.

Look At Me I Am Perfect - You Ain't

Bad hearing, some never listen or pretend not to, what about you did sound advice get hinted around directed at you, no matter our age, suddenly repelled, pretending never heard.

White-eared Barbet - The Look!

Oh yes that most definitely is true in so many cases one has to laugh out loud at our own stubborn ignorance especially when a 'silver' thinking out loud, I don't need your chatting, I am listening to myself.

Special Time To Switch Off Sunrise To Sunset

Reaching the end of your spectrum, time to have fun looking in hindsight at expansive lives lived, not much has changed we all simply human.

Out Of Here With Something To Ponder From Long Ago!

Consider early poetry analysis pertains to all, once summed up at the end of the day....

"All the world’s a stage" - William Shakespeare

Infancy
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
Boyhood/Childhood
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Adolescence/Teenager
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Youth
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lin’d,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
Middle Age
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Old Age
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
Death
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Simply remember to whisper in the ear of loved ones; love got you here it will get you there too. Be exceptional, excessive, extraordinary, fanatical or whatever path you enjoyed, do share it quietly for them to smile with you too!

We reap what we harvest along the way that I see very evident in your garden, somehow we all seek the same harmony, life's happiness and joy, more often than not taking a long road.

True of human nature, one thinks they are better than the next, look around at the conflict/rewards in the world today.

How we hated learning the old English at school!

Many years later the words pop up leaving you to realize how true they were then, as they are still are currently.

Leaves you to ponder are we deaf to advice given through eons of time?

We will be mistaken if we think others do not have skeletons of their own, none is living a perfect life, lets us remain hopeful over whatever that could be bothering us as we strive for the life we wish for.

Have a wonderful week.

Wow
This is beautiful written, I kept reflecting on every word as I was reading through.

Look At Me I Am Perfect - You Ain't

This particular phrase got me, sometimes it's easy to looked at and think we are better than them, forgetting that we also got a skeleton in our cupboard we don't want anyone to know about. Well done 👍

True words, Joan. We are getting older and time is flying by too quickly. I had to smile at the last line,” Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything,”

Always chuckle with how blatant retorts simply say it all, eloquently done no argument.

Very lucky having an English teacher who could turn old English into something interesting holding our attention.

Doubt the youth of today are taught much about William Shakespeare. !LOLZ
