"It takes nothing to join the crowd.
It takes everything to stand alone."
Hans Frodi Hansen
Throughout life, my leadership skills have been recognized. Bringing people together was exciting and challenging while the end result was pure joy. Rarely was it noticed, however, that once the group had taken hold, I would quietly remove myself. Historically, I have been able to move in and out of groups without becoming a permanent fixture.
Life lessons have taught me to be independent, and personal choice arranges for me to generally stand alone. I absolutely love my friends, offering support and laughter, but ultimately require alone time. Perhaps this explains my love for trees as they are a significant part of the forest, yet deeply rooted all by themselves.
Basically, I do not care what color a person's skin is or what religious affiliation or political party any person chooses to join. What is important to me is his or her moral compass and the individual perception they have about life. The more articulate, projecting an eclectic view, I will be drawn in to listen, but continue to stand alone.
