OBSCURITY

 

Everyone is obscure – at least

to the members of his or her family.

They don’t know this or better put:

they won’t know this till they are 55

or older – when they have begun –

figuring out their parents and 75

when they are putting their own life

Into words and incidents and key

memories. Best of luck. Be ready

for the disappointments in your life.

P.S. Tell your kids what you have

come up with – so their figuring out

who you are – will be a bit easier.

RARE  BIRD

 

They considered me a rare bird.

It was meant to be a negative –

but I saw it as a compliment.

Like everyone I have unique

gifts and unique takes on life.

Let them fly. Let them abide.

Let them be for the good of all.

LIES AND CONSEQUENCES

 

We’ve all heard the phrase:

“Truth and/or Consequences.”

But what about the consequences

of our lies? I would think that

pondering them would bear the most fruit.

I would think that they stick to our

memories the most and the deepest.

And maybe after that first big lie,

the ones that followed had the

greatest cling and the greatest damage

APPLAUSE

 

Tell me about a moment in your life

when you experienced applause.

Everyone needs at least 3 of them.

You did a drawing and it made the

refrigerator door. You got the winning

hit or score in softball game. You had

a part in a school play and you were

great – and the audience clapped.

As I said, “Everyone needs at least 3.

What were yours? Take some time

and take a good look back at your life.”
