I used to be moved by time
time to do this
or time to do that
time
although I admit it has come a little late
to be the one to move time
instead of being moved by it
also, while I’m at it
the stars and the moon‘s cycle
don’t have the answers you’re looking for
you do
if you’ll just stop and think for yourself
when a mountain of doubt
blocks your view
don’t go at it two-fisted
wailing away
exhausting yourself
let the damn mountain come to you
contemplate it
even mountains have flaws
weakness’
let it show you where it is
only then do you pick up your
can of Mountain Destroyer
and blast away

Thanks Jerry
More words of wisdom for me to contemplate.
Is it just me or is it just you? But the blue room seems kinda empty lately. I hope everybody is just on vacation.

I think they are on vacation from the Blue Room. Even if they are on vacation, their laptops will be with them.I may join them on a Blue Room vacation. Thank you for you kind words.
