Hesitated posting as some might accuse me of directing it at specific people. Thanks for dropping by.........stan

Boy oh boy did you miss the intended point lol. The point is to take a little care in what one does. The mocking bird did not err in lighting on a limb. It erred in not taking care to NOT light on a rotten limb. It had no intent to do harm, but lack of care in one simple thing leads to a minor thing (fragile limb breaking) which set in motion a series of things which snow balled into a catastrophe. In our day to day lives, there is no telling how fragile a person or situation may be. What is an innocuous action taken at the wrong time can lead to unintended consequences. The villagers didn't care or know that the bird had no intent to cause harm, but they still had to suffer consequences. On almost all days, for example, it is almost impossible to anger me. But pick the Wrong day and i become "the incredible Bulk" lol. When dealing with people on the internet we can't see the usual signals that people put out that tell us to tread lightly this day. Therefore the wise man who seeks to avoid trouble go the extra mile to not offend people. There is no telling their state of mind on a given day. Damn! my comment is longer than the poem . Not a good sign of having gotten point across, I think..................stan

I damn sure didn't want to write yet another blog. I didn't want to be seen as preaching. I also didn't want to appear to be picking on anybody. So this resulted as a means to send a message of restraint. Time will tell if I did ant good.................stan

enough to build a house. And often enough to finally understand how unintended carelessness can lead to bad endings. Why else do you think I foolishly try to nip conflicts before they gain momentum?......stan

thank you. Still in process of getting rhythm down pat in free verse...............stan

This was posted more for the underlying message than anything else. I am pleased you enjoyed it...........stan

never does take much to get things rolling does it?...........stan
