A LITTLE SOMETHIN' 
This leaves me quite a picture. Post-it Notes covering us like fig leaves.
exactly
creative, caring, and thoughtful (in the sense that you think and wonder about things a lot)
a wondering wanderer.
My wife and I are having big talks about how we’re too old for labels, for caring too much about what people think, for believing or following or thinking in certain ways that have been categorized as acceptable or not. The truer, the you-er, is what I said.
You and your wife do it too. We all label the people that we see or meet. For example; You have a label for me, and it would not be the same label that your wife would have for me, or that my neighbor has for me. It could have nothing to do with who i find myself to be, and yet, it is how each person perceives me and how they see me according to their life and their perspective.
Similar to opening a gift from someone. It is unwrapped and instantly there are thoughts that label it. The label can change, but, there is always a label.
I have recently found that it’s good to see the labels, if possible, and realize how differently each person sees me through their eyes, their thoughts, their heart. I will wear the labels until they fall off. And i will try to see each one for what it truly is.
No post-it notes here. I’m trying to shed those silly things myself!
they usually drop off pretty quickly in the fall. in november the winds blow mine over the hill. then come the new year’s labels. they can be quite sticky.
Very strong. Excellent.
thank you, dear copoet.
Fortunately, post-it notes are easily removed.
yes, they eventually fall right off…
