There was a time I thought I knew what I should do. I'd given it some thought and found out that as a man, I had some planning to do. The world seemed to spin on it's own even when I wasn't aware. I seemed so small and insignificant, even as a young man in my twenties. How could I, just a human in all these masses of hummanity, know what to do. It never came to me even though I was coached Rock-a-bye baby in the treetop sounded beautiful when I was a child. I didn't realize the meaning of, "when the bough breaks the cradle will fall down will come baby cradle and all." AND, I still don't but I know things haven't changed in some aspects. So as a human and an imperfect one, I'd like to give my heart and soul to someone needy. I'd like to give them everything I have, because I didn't have it in the beginning If I could just rescue one someone I would rescue myself from the God of self centeredness. I'd like to kiss every baby in the world. I'd like to create a pill that would give my present mellowness to teens and babies. However, I'm still working on being me and accepting myself for who I am. Yet, lately, I give everytime I have a chance and yes, don't take this as being over righteous, even Jesus said, "there's more happiness in giving than receiving" He was RIGHT! These cliches are helpful in expressing who I am. I know love is an overworked expression but it's the only answer to relieve those who don't receive it. |

I arrived more or less where you are now in October, 2011, Eric, old buddy. It was then that my way of thinking changed. It took a while for me to truly understand the change, but when I did I heaved a huge metaphorical breath and have breathed easier and more caring than ever in my life. 'Bout darn time, wouldn't you say? ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Nicely expressed, E. And I have to agree, I am feeling more calm and content ( could be this aging thing) especially after realizing what is really important in life. p.s. your words rescued me on many an occasion. M |
