Re-membering

I have noticed lately

that just when I've formed an opinion about something or someone

--a judgment or a conclusion--

that if I'm paying attention, I will soon thereafter experience

doing or being the very thing I had judged. 

Hmmmm...it's like if I can see it in you/them,

then it's in me as well. 

Those times of awareness are becoming

more and more available to me, which I'm taking as a

GIFT,

although a most humbling one. 

I wrote a poem about this many years ago. 

I guess I'm re-membering it again.

 "Cafeteria  Style"

Love

Is a circle

Of remembering

How it never felt to dish it out

When you have just been served a big

Helping of Well-That-Didn't-Feel-Good;

And  in time, and certainly no sooner,

You finally forgive all broken hands,

And remembering

Is a circle of

Love.
