-- Things Not the Same –

John Herlihy

 

Wondering is not the same

As not wondering.

Imagining is not the same

As not imagining.

 

Pretending is not the same

As not pretending.

Doing is not the same

As not doing.

 

Knowing is not the same

As seeing.

Seeing is not the same

As feeling.

 

Feeling is not the same

As envisioning.

Envisioning is not the same

As realizing.

 

Realizing is not the same

As internalizing.

Internalizing is not the same

As being.

INDEED, YET...EACH HAS IT'S WORTHY PLACE OF NECESSITY IN OUR LIVES. ENJOYED, THANK YOU. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Very true. Your poems of simple considerations of the obvious (that bit of ignoring we're all guilty of) continue to give us fresh reminders. Thank you. Just a courtesy note: the title has a typo.

I prefer the title given, "Things Are Not the Sane."

It is crazy the way that people gather information for their opinions from sources that are not to be trusted rather than actually, in your beautifully rendered instructions, performing or doing the act and finding out what it really is. So many citizens are living lives of fantasy based on all of this ready information supporting their thoughts, but not necessarily true.

Some of them are literally insane with what they claim to believe!

Steps toward reality must be taken with care.
Otherwise, we could end up like pigs in a poke.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
