Once Upon a Time Karen Hecht Springer I loved you, once Brown eyes sparkling and matching your wit A brainiac who quoted Gandhi And Green Day in the same sentence I knew I knew… And I Well I was a shy idealist Wanting to heal the world But neglecting the needs of my own heart As it shattered in pieces of shell Self blame will do that I bled I bled… The chances I had Looking back The way you looked at me The talking never ending You knew You knew… And so And so… And…so…?

and so...we learn...do we not? we either fail to begin or end up failing in the search for the elusive self-worth that is involved in finding or losing Love. We may just put too much stock in others...when we should invest in ourselves. This work of yours captures the beauty of that process while seeking an answer for the confusion in relationships. If only we knew then.

What an effective and fluid style you have, Karen. Catches my attention like a bright yellow leaf in the wind....seasoned, graceful, airborn. ~~ Diana

I agree with Jerry . I also think you should never look back because it is self defeating in purpose, and similarly I don't think you should ever leave your heart at the mercy of any one person. Peter

Talk is cheap. What wisdom was in this brainiac? Lessons have been learned about life. Ron

Looking back, we sometimes are harder on ourselves than we should be. Also, we are not the same person as the one we're looking back was. We learn from the mistakes of that person,hopefully.
