Fences

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.".... Robert Frost, 1874-1963, American Poet and Pulitzer Prize Winner

Boundaries are important, truly understanding why they exist is vital to keeping your three feet of personal space as drama free as possible. Normally we build fences to keep out predators. Maintaining a safe distance is a wise thing, but true knowledge about all your fences and who built them is wiser still.

Letting others erect upon sacred ground rarely works out; fences built by other hands are often only prisons in disguise. The best thing you can do if someone starts erecting upon personal property is to firmly place markers at boundaries edges and completely remove their creation from your territory.

Love gives a lot of things as benefits, but squatters rights to personal space is not one of the perks. Allowing someone to manipulate your boundaries for the sake of love guarantees that with each step the portion that belongs to you will shrink until it is in total control of a tyrant. Protecting your kingdom must come first if you hope to have any say about much of anything else.

Tour your property. Remove every scrap of debris as you travel along. Plant something pretty along your fence row. Make its center a place of perfect peace. And as always.... think about it.... let it ride.... then you decide!!!!
