Like a hermit,
I have craved and stayed in my cave.
In this castle, I was me, real and nice

UNDERSTANDING - My Reflections
What is understanding?
Is it just to be sympathetically aware of other people’s feelings; to be tolerant and forgiving? An inclination to support or be loyal to or to agree with an opinion or simply the capacity for rational thought, inference, or discrimination? If understanding can be all of these and much more, where does one draw the line between being understanding and being taken for granted? Is it true that when I say I understand, I am illuminating me and my biases?
