If I think small, petty thoughts…it’s reflected in my stature.
If I hold tight to my pocketbook…it’s reflected in my stature.
If I offer no kind words…it’s reflected in my stature.
If I show no compassion…it’s reflected in my stature.
If I take my problems out on others…it’s reflected in my stature.
If I genuflect to my own image…it’s reflected in my stature.
If my life begins and ends with me…it’s reflected in my stature.
If I am God…it’s reflected in my stature.
I am an island…unto myself.
It’s reflected in my stature.

Thanks, Bjorn. I don’t often consider myself in the league of writers like you and Rochelle. To have you pay me such a compliment is very much appreciated. I’m a pretty straight forward writer. Subtle nuances escape me. I’ll keep trying…hugs!

Like nails on the coffin of a very selfish individual, who died alone bereft of another’s love. Sorry…I got carried away. Almost wrote another flash fiction story…

I’d written another piece, but decided it was too flippant. So I rewrote something a little more thoughtful…like the mood I’ve been in recently. hugs…
