The following is from the 151 writings on love, intimacy and the path to inner peace from David's book, Phoenix Soul: One Man's Search for Love & Inner Peace © 1998 David Essel

It Matters

I'm not asking you to understand me, to agree with me
Just respect my feelings
I may be uncomfortable doing what you do

Does this mean I'm wrong?
Does it threaten you if I'm different?
If others don't agree with me, does this make you uneasy?

I respect your weaknesses
Is this not enough?
I don't ridicule your fears, so can't you respect mine?

So much of life is wasted trying to fit into a mold
If others do not agree with my life, my beliefs
Let them do battle with themselves
But instead, you'd rather shatter what we've had
