Love Is The Key

--> As a retired Dorset Police officer who spent thirty years serving around the county, even I was surprised to hear today, that forty percent of the calls which the police now receive are related to mental health issues! What is going on? Many will ask.

I Thought a Thought I thought a thought and then it was gone. It passed through me you see. I do not know which way it went. It was not mine and it was not me. It may pass this way again, For it is free, it does not belong to me. It is not mine or anyone else's. It just came to visit for a while. I saw its reflection in the mirror of my being. It was not real but I the mirror that is aware, am.
