@Vanessa. I’m delighted that you visited today. Yes, our own worst enemy can mean so many things…however most times it is derived from fear…and thanks to your most recent post, I’m empowered to defeat fear at all angles. Blessings sis! PLL, C.

@Tabitha. Welcome Tabitha! Thanks – I’m delighted and honored you found my blog inspiring. I too look forward to visiting you often, kindred sis! Peace, Light and Love, C.

@Tobeme. I agree…the ego brings forth much misery. When we live in the spirit, we experience abundance of love – our best friend, indeed. PLL, C.

@MM. Thanks, MM. BTW, feel free to swear on my blog! PLL, C.

Great poem, you are masterful with your words. Too me, my worst enemy is my ego, my best friend is my spirit which is my true self. Thanks for sharing your gifts!

Your words are haunting and so true……….. thank goodness for the blessed presence of the best friend to take the sting of the worst enemy. To me, our best friend represents our hope that is never fading; our own worst enemy looks different to all of us, but as we realize our own courage are we able to defeat it for good. Love you, Cordie B. Sorry to be away so long……

@Benifia. I’ve found that I am mine own worst enemy and mine own best friend! It’s what I tell myself and interpret my world that brings forth these ups and downs. Have you hugged yourself today? If not, here’s a hugfrom me to you this morning to get you started.

Thanks for this poem.

I always appreciate the wise endings of the inner conundrum, over the bottomless pitted ones of newfound missing endurance.

It is good to know that even when the wise one seems to have left the building, friends will often come to remind us. At least on our blogs.

Curious, that at times I might require empathy and compassion; for myself. For my own conceptual aid, I’ve called that the “pivot point of perception”, a way to turn my own identity from lack to fullness in what can amount to an instant. For our continued lifelong education, identity pivots back the other way as well whenever I judge the weight differently.

All much better said in your poem.

Everything is a choice. You can realize you are your own best friend and have the potential to be your own worst enemy. As you choose what makes you feel good, you choose the friend angle. Love your reflections here! Great to connect with you. What a kindred spirit!
