Cultivate

Cultivate your talents and your pleasures: like invested monies, a comfort as you age.

Parenting

It's never too early and never too late to learn good parenting.

If you were lucky, you had good parenting, which included instructions on how to parent yourself. If you weren't so lucky, then, as soon as possible, through observation and research, discover what good parenting is and start its practice.

Sometimes bad examples can be very instructive. Which of your friends, with all the typical issues they have,would you want for a parent? Is it comforting or harrowing to know they will be parents to many "someones"?

By Default

If we do not promote education by our behavior and examples, then by default, we are promoting ignorance

Opportunity

Nobody likes getting old,
But few pass up the opportunity

Artist

I am the artist
of my life.




Giving meaning to emotions,
Sights and smells
And memories.

Feeling vibes
of all the sadness.
There's much work to balance me.

Make decisions
at the crossroads.
Forks are opportunities.

Yes, I am the artist
of my life.
I have a hand
in what will be, will be.

Love

If you say you love me,
is that love?
Can love be created just like that?
Suppose I don't want it;
does it disappear?
Does it hang in the air
forever, like a spell, or,
until the molecules of love
thin out, disperse,
and recycle,
like the atoms in our bodies?

Joy

Problems and Solutions

LOVE

LOVE

You get it by giving.

How is that possible?
Is this a paradox?
A trick question?
Suppose I give,
and nothing comes back?
Am I a fool?

The giving is the getting.
Shut up and be satisfied!

Let go

Life is always
passing you by:
you can not run
as fast
as the water flows.
Let go;
stay away from the river.
