Postcards of a life


Why assume that we can fully comprehend 
The complexities of a life that’s been distilled 
Like postcards into the surface we encounter; 
A collection of experiences, memories, 
Grievances, and opinions — some our own; 
Others sent to us and treasured 
For reasons now obscured — 
And yet we persist in judging, 
Based only on what we see: so much easier 
Than taking time to explore what lies beneath.
