It’s easy to be brilliant when you started life with a good brain and then received your daily bread and wholesome food, a warm bed for your head and natural nurturing from a nice nana that never said no, just maybe. The next time you scoff, giggle and point at the poor human who sits and stares at the sky in wonder, but doesn’t know the earth is round perhaps it is time to thank your lucky stars and kiss your ego goodbye as the sky IS falling. That's what he was trying to tell you as he was flapping his wings, staring at the sky. |

I don't really remember all the words to the oldie goldie,"The Fool on the Hill", but I'm reminded of it. Now the chorus is going to be playing over and over in my head all night! Very much enjoyed. You speak such truth. miscellanea |

Egos are such a nuisance and only serve to get in the way. Like you said, there is so much more too be grateful for, and egos simply do not come into play. Looking good, Kacy girl! |

So Chicken Little was right! Aww Kacy you are so wise.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Arrogance is on the top of my list of the most difficult subject to write about--but you managed it well, as a gentle reminder. thank you for this Kacy...and yes ma'am. I love your awesome spirit.  |

This hits me deeply - there is often just too much taken and rarely enough given and why is this? Why are the world's values so out of whack? You've a wise eye, my friend. This is a piece I posted long ago- it is of similar relevance - The Forgotten I am, but I am not I am here but you do not see me For to see me You would have to know me And this you cannot do If at first you dismiss me Making up your mind As to who I am Before even asking my name Invisibility is a shield A barrier of sorts Erected as a force field Keeping out your silent slurs That scream through your averted eyes For how can you look at me If I’m not really here? Walk on by Think not to forget me For you cannot forget what you do not know And you cannot know what you do not see For I am, but I am not Except inside of me Where I cannot escape myself Nor the fires of your ignorance That brand me from within S.A.T. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Dunc, you OK? Susan, thank you for that, as it does have a parallel feel. I can't answer the Q's. Some will say humans have always been this way, we just didn't 'see it' until now. Sy, thanks!!! |

It is good to constantly remember that goodness doesn't come with stature and that the uncouth or uncivil may have more substance than some men of office, all to zealous to keep their comfortable seats...How arrogant we are when we judge that uncouth person as being less deserving for a human ear... |

When your roof does not leak When your lunch is not bleak When your clothes do not reek When your life is not meek You are ahead of most of the world. Well said, Kacy.
