Discoveries

I have discovered
That bones break
All too easily
That bright-colored foods
Make me hyper
That it is not wise
To leave one's shoes
In reach of a hungry puppy.

I have discovered
That sometimes
Honesty is not the best policy
And a little lie never hurt anyone.

I have discovered,
That making discoveries
Is harder than reading about them.
That writer's block
Is best overcome
By a chocolate milkshake
And an hour of reading.

I have discovered
That experience
Is just a name for our mistakes,
And that the biggest discovery
Is not a discovery at all,
But simply always something known,
Always something felt.
Love.
