I’ve
come to the conclusion, or so I think it’s a conclusion, that friends can come
and go like the wind, and heaven knows I’ve written enough about the wind this
past year, to make this point clear. It isn’t always nice. I was
going to talk about love, but I’ve also worn THAT subject out.
If
you want to know who this hateful person is, never shying away from the human
condition (whatever that is), who writes in metaphor, you need to learn to read
between lines. But I’ll save you the trouble - I lost one of my dearest
friends because of my metaphorical writing.
Was I
too straight forward, too honest, to hurtful...to be believed or not, as I
encompassed many people in that big lump of metaphorical dialogue? How
many read my blogs? I doubt a whole lot, but this one person happened to
that day; and the next day I had a change of heart, and removed it, dumping it
into the trash, unknowingly along with our friendship.
Understanding
metaphor is to understand a conundrum; puzzle pieces of minute intrigue.
My words can be harsh; seemingly uncaring in the lack of compassion, while
getting across my inner-most feelings through this type of writing. I
don’t write compassionate metaphor, I aim for the gut, and most often than
not, it’s my gut that is hit and splayed for viewer consumption. Mincing
words is just not my idea of honesty.
But,
we all have our comparative notes on what honesty means, as we watched the
candidates debate for high offices in government, sliding right through one big
commandment, and into the valley of the Kingdom of Lying-Hoodwinked. And,
they honestly believed all those words they spewed
to the American public.
Enough
about friends, truth, lying, metaphor, and Hoodwinkleddom, it just means that
the human condition isn’t always what we think it is, or should be.
Honesty is put in the pockets of many, pockets with holes....falling to the
ground, stepping over, on, or around, but none-the-less falling; falling out of
sight - out of sight, out of mind.....falling as you win some, and falling as
you reluctantly lose some.
