TRIPLE AAA


A battery, an Auto Club,
but I also have my AAA:
Acceptance, Ambiguity,
and Autobiography.

If I do enough pondering
with paper or pen or computer,
I can get to know my own story -
my autobiography - my quirks
and quests and questions….

If I listen to you enough
and get to know your story,
your autobiography,
then I can come up with
two key life skills: accepting
others and others otherness,
in other words, ambiguity.

It’s then I can really grow
in wisdom, age and grace
before God, self and others.[1]
