When in the midst of time

The other strikes my mind

And that encounter will not let me flee

It's then I honor him

Though he be for or friend

and I become the all that is not me...

I absolutely LOVED what you wrote!!!!!!! I will read this one again and again; especially was drawn to #5, "Don’t interpret everything. Let some things remain mysterious but trusted." Sometimes I'm grappling with finding the perfect title to a piece which I want to show 'meaning' to a piece. But when I just trust a more vague yet intriguing title that doesn't explain anything or much, it seems to fit a piece better. And even when I'm creating a piece......I know the emotions and meanings are there at times locked inside a piece yet it'll speak to me in mysterious 'tongues' and I just get it. We don't always need to interpret and put words to something that defies words and goes beyond.
