connecting the dots

we all have dots……….things placed strategically in our paths that make us what we are, who we are and what we will be……………the shape takes form as we endeavor to connect those dots……………………recently i experienced a mental shift as a reaction to behavior that was unsettling to me……………the abundant need to criticize and condemn……which left me quite shaken and off balance…………………i intensely felt uncomfortable and uneasy…………..for which i am now grateful…….because i recognized a better remedy for such situations that are going to happen for the rest of my life……………..when i feel the need to critique……….i need to look for ways to help…………….not ways to solve, that may be out of my realm of control,…………but i can always help………………….so that dot of criticism is now connected to a dot of willingness to help, and that is a better connection that i previously had.

the form continues to take shape…………one dot at a time
