My father always taught me to be careful who I allow on my ship because some may try to sink it. I've learned that the hard way; however, the anchor holds while the ship is battered; the anchor holds while the sails are torn. As long as we learn, Kitts. As long as we learn. xo

Sage advice.

Hard learned lessons stuck with us that's for sure.

Oh my, does this ring of a TOO familiar tune, (unfortunately.) What a enormously learned and wisely written piece bk. Thank you for the reminder to heed this advice, it really is valuable. IMO, These sharks, vultures and hyenas are masterful in manipulation and it's a honed skill to pick up on who's friend or foe, at times. I will remind myself to proceed with cautious optimism... and a keen eye!

So well penned, my friend 🙏

Seems I have struck a chord with this one.
Thank you for the kind words, Blue.

virtual world unfortunately suits the so-cybercrime psycotic hypocrites so well..  I would say, it is an inevitable casualty if in such trapsters tricksters . as you title them spot on.. as veiled sheeps & saviours . the staggering irony! agrees to Ahavati.. life lessons learnt known experienced  & explored & still  unexplored, all are in the foundational elemental virtues of self of our core, that shines nurtures faces fights off these battles in real virtual or any dimensional now.. the flaming truthful Soul & the hearty anchoring Love .. are still & forevermore the quintessence & bonds we sync in .. that is agelessly the warrioring winning ultimate. time is just a notion in testing turns & twists tempering our swords & minds & painful ripen heart & eternal soul. awwe juz me in excess words.. excuse as ev.. your words inspire.. write on shine on in all light & love dear One :) xx

Those damn life lessons. They do indeed pile up, especially the lessons on trust.

Dear BK,

I feel as though you have just provided me a check list I can carry and refer to every time I find myself in trouble! I can’t begin to express how this write is a reality check to be reviewed before leaving the house every day. Outstanding. Simply outstanding.

If nothing else, I live in the cold harsh light of reality.
Thank you for the kind words, Honoria.

Great. So true.
Particularly liked and agreed with:
"be aware of those who give too much--
something great may be asked for in
return"

That is usually the "catch" to being given.
Thank you, Lozzamus.

Very much appreciated, Relic.

Even self-righteousness can be a social pariah. Even when about the right cause, social, political, or others. Your poem pinpoints this truth perfectly.

Thank you, John. Sincerity in what we practice can go a long way.

BK, this is not only wise, but it's freakin' epic. Too much of one thing can't be good.

Outstanding work.

Many thanks, wally.
