Listen to your heart

My dearest children,
The world I live in today is a blind one. It is walked upon by people who are presumptuous and arrogant. Not only are they that, but they are also [vainly] arrogant. It is unfortunate. Unfortunate because there is much energy in these people. Somewhat misguided, uncontrolled. They do not stop long enough to listen, or long enough to understand. Opinions, inflated facts, and an understanding of reality – limited to their narrow minded choices of information.
With luck, work and brighter future in mind, your world will not be similar to mine. With hope, your generation will be a much better guided one. One enriched by what you two have to offer.
You will hopefully see beyond the passions which pervert and blind those who do not control them.
We are our own worse enemy my children. Our senses can confuse and control us. Always turn to your hearts and your mind for the answer.
Answer only to your soul – not to the blind. Always listen more than you speak. Listen to what people say and to what they do not say. What they do not say is just as important. You can try to set them straight on some of the facts. But try is all one can do.
Do not push, do not shove. A whisper in a crowd can be heard better than a shouting voice.
Much of this may not make sense, so you may need to ask me what it was all about. I hope that is the case. Remind me I was referring to Common Law and Gregory Fargo and platoon.
Love
Mom
P.S. We had a tough day today, the three of us. But I love you with all of my heart. Incredibly much. Sooo much.
