much as i would like to think i appreciate the significance of things and people in my life……i don’t think we are capable of that realization until it is taken from us or it is lost through negligence or rarely……no fault of our own……………….

the love of a friend or partner…family or pets………….we lack the capacity to know how deeply and thoroughly they affect us until it or they are gone…..sad….realistic and true….

the best we can do is try……..love when you can……while you can….

realizing the human condition……ripe fruit that is eaten or goes bad
