Feathers that fall out are replaced with new ones for birds, right? The past is the past, and there are many lessons to be learned from it.
Regardless of who leaves whom, we have complete control over whether or not we use something as a lesson for the present and the future.
I often leave someone who is poison in my life; sometimes the same people come back, but the portion and effect of their presence are different for me now and in the future, and so is that person in my life. I recently left a friend who always depended on other people. I gave him a fishing rod, but he always asked for fish and broke the fishing rod that I gave him. It's not good for me, and it will be worse for him if I don't leave him.
Mr. Galenkp, you again remind us of something valuable, even if it's just a fallen bird feather.
Did you find it during the hunt yesterday, Sir?
Well, they do mostly, but if I've plucked a chicken, dressed it and put it in the oven, then eaten it with baked potatoes, carrots, pumpkin and green beans...Yeah, that one is unlikely to grow it's feathers back.
Exactly! If we allow it to diminish us it's our fault...if we use it to augment and improve ourselves then it's our fault. You know?
A legit good idea. Me too.
I saw that feather earlier this year whilst out hunting...I took a couple images and stored them away...I came across it looking at it prompted me to make a post about it.
