All relationships teach us something and they don't always work out like we hope and pray for. We learn and grow from each adventure and always know we will stay with our own hearts knowing. Dedicated to Larry Gonzalez

BESIDE MYSELF Beside Myself I lived cozy I lived hard Beside Myself. I shared me when I was able. Beside Myself I learned to trust. Beside Myself I always was. No disappointment lingers there. For I knew I would always be Beside Myself. I invited others to sit beside me. To learn of themselves, most left when the shadow appeared in fear. Not me I stayed Beside Myself. Most joined others whom they felt safer wtih. Not me I stayed Beside Myself. Some say it's too big of a price to pay to stay Beside Myself. But me I say what better than to know Myself in all its forms. For If I could not stay Beside Myself. I could not stand beside you. Tuesday, May 31, 2005 5:55:32 PM

Beside yourself is the way to get aquinted with oneself and then to know yourself is a gift to others as well.

Many people never learn this. They are never really whole, are they? Well done, Rene.

Wonderful and oh so insightful write that you offer us here Rene with sage advice, some people never do learn to know themselves and spend their whole life living in or under other's shadows.

This is the first time I have read you but I have a feeling it won't be the last.

Until one can live with ones self, hen anyother relationship is doomed.
We need to be interdependant, for healthy relationship connections...

For If I could not
stay Beside Myself.
I could
not stand beside you.

I think that's very true, for all of us.
