“Things”

When was it that the “things” got in the way of relationships?  While going through the lovely drudgery of racking the signs of summer gone and the freshness of fall I had more than enough time to ponder the small transgressions that have soiled my heart.  Around the disappointment of a “thing” discarded that I had put into an offering of friendship.  Why look at it this way, why am I wired to feel slighted by another’s uninterest in this gift.  When really the true gift is to be and reside in the moment with another soul, another friend and companion.  It seems that somewhere we lost the ideal of living in the moment with others losing the  importance of just communining.   Did just being together somehow  not show the level of honor that bestowing gifts does?  Really this could be a spring board to how important having times bonding musically  can be in a childs and our own lives.
