Empty
packages.
Life’s
lessons
arrive
like a
package
at the
door.
Different
shapes,
colors,
sizes.
Each
unique.
Each
with­
something
inside,
to teach.
Once
opened.
The lesson’s
absorbed,
learned.
Becomes
part of
the whole.
Morphs the
recipient
into
someone
new.
Package
after
package
the character’s
formed.
Good,
bad.
All the
same.
Lesson’s
gleaned.
Empty
packages,
toss them
away.
Lesson’s
absorbed.
Recipient
altered.
No need
dwelling
on the
past.
Move
forward
wiser for
the delivery.
