humble not pure

by Max Rothenberg - Pisces

i have learned:

that I have a very strong passion for life

that I am true to my passions

that my passions are true to me
 
that expecting others to be true to my passions takes big ego

that some lessons are harder than others

that humility may be the most painful of all - ouch!

that although passions of the sun blazes brightly,
     passions of the moon possess a subtle but definite pull

that the sun and moon form a circle each day

that while pride is tough and bitter,
     humility is luscious and sweet - yum!

alas! love is bittersweet
