Do not judge a book by it’s cover, the old saying goes. This means never to judge someone on first impressions. Hard not to do , I know. But I would like to add to that saying–
Do not judge a book by it’s cover - nor - even after having read the page of contents should you decide whether or not to proceed further.
Often the most pleasurable of souls takes time to discover, to fully flourish in the eyes of another.
So by this I mean always give some-one a chance, they are just as good as you. And even if your soul and theirs can never be friends, you will have learned from the experience, and you will be a better read yourself!

I have it back
That which I thought I had lost
I hold it in my hands
Cupped in my warm security
I hold it to my lips
It gives me breath
That which I hold
Is a sense of myself.
