Her Two Cents on If It Was Me
Our lovelorn Boston poet is waiting for the return of someone who has chosen another based on material assets and abundance. When I read this message, the image of a tree came to mind as they stand and wait – simple, yet strong and enduring. Amy Ng’s illustration reminded me of the story “The Giving Tree” which seemed appropriate to this situation.
Gentle Readers: There is always so much talk about what people need in order to be truly happy – and oftentimes we get our needs and our wants confused (resulting in us acquiring “things” that we think will make us happy but really don’t). What are the aspects of your life that bring you happiness? Are some of those things material items?
