Crimson and Pink by Pragalbha Doshi
True
I am committed to
Seeing only the good
True
I would live
As if drugged on positive
True
I would receive
Even from one trying to deceive
That doesn’t mean
I wouldn’t speak up
That doesn’t mean
You can mock me into upset
That doesn’t mean
You can’t hurt me
If I think you can treat me better
I will definitely show your error
Only means, to me, you matter
True
I am impassioned to
Smelling the rose with glee
That doesn’t mean
The thorn wouldn’t prick me
True
I love and live to see
The beautiful crimson and pink
That doesn’t mean
I never see the brown and green

I loved this post a lot. ‘Positivity with reality perceived’
“If I think you can treat me better
I will definitely show your error
Only means, to me, you matter” such incredible lines. They show strength as well as soft heartedness, just in right proportions. Exactly what I aspire 💙
Beautifully penned. 🙂

At all cost be positive and kind even if others are mean. For me being true to myself and my character and the duvine and beung a good human beung far out weighs fitting into anothers meanness any day

You are very right and powerful in your thinking.
My perspective is that staying positive is a choice but it doesn’t stop us from seeing anything for what it is. It is not a freedom for the other to test our limits of a positive perspective.
Thank you always for sharing your thoughts, I truly appreciate it.

God I love this. “To me, you matter”. That is truly gorgeous. I’m in a coaching retreat this week, and we do an exercise where we see each other. (Say “I am here to be seen” and the other person responds “I see you” and vice versa) Lots of blessings to you and your son, Debbie

Thank you!!
For bringing those 4 words back to me.
For sharing with me the very profound exercise from your retreat. Feeling Not Seen is such a deep wound for so many. I am so glad you got to be at the retreat!
For your love and blessings always!

I just loved these lines. Sometimes we just don’t think about the consequences of what we do and say.
