    I dreamt I was a digital camera,
    Scenes of my life it held,
    I went through,
    And deleted the bad things,
    On completion of this,
    I had a compendium of beauty,
    But had erased evidence of lessons learned.

    Takes a tad of bad to make the good appreciated I think.

  • So true . yes it would be good to take out  the bad or sad things memorized but we would loose our esperience and our roots by the way . Short poem but grand reflection , Doug .

  • I agree. We know the good by comparsion to the bad.
    ryc – yes, much like the human race.

    Have a great day!

  • Very nice and absolutely right. I wonder if we would take out the bad. It certainly does offer perspective.

  • Love this one! I used to think that it would be great to erase all the bad in my life. But where would I be today had I not experienced it ;) . God Bless your day Doug!

  • i guess if you erased the bad, you wouldn’t be the person that you are today.  would be nice though.  have a great day

  • Wow thats something to think about. Erasing the bad things–but that would take out some of the good too. I will have to think about that.

  • At night i am like that. All my dreams aredeleted in the morning, some were great , some were nightmares.

  • How elegantly simple and profound this is. Thank you for sharing it.

  • ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You are a smartie pants my friend!

  • I agree.  I experienced 3 bad marriages, and truly appreciate my marriage to Richard. He is a fine Christian man, that is very supportive.

  • I love the metaphor here…and I wonder if we’d lose more and more of our grip on reality if we DID have that ability to delete the bad from our lives…perhps that’s why I think every photographer should have experience in film before attemptin digitl… ~ Jeanne

  • AMEN! Young as I am, I can see the truth in this and where it’s been proven in my life already..thank you so much for sharing!
