Sometimes I think sometimes we tend to use the word "look" loosely, but your usage of the word is spot on. I want to look, observe, and live as you have invited us to in your poem. Have a great week, Linda!

The second "O" line in your acrostic snags my attention: "Own your words, thoughts, actions." In other words, don't forget to look at yourself.Violet N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16586574800230604652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682499942234804128.post-58174973959604862432017-01-13T17:30:21.624-05:002017-01-13T17:30:21.624-05:00As I closed the window...I almost screamed!
