have a good life...

bend, but do not break,
leave more than you take,
make every word count and be true,
don't fear saying I love you,
live not to be in the spotlight,
embrace forgiveness and what is right,
respect those who have come before,
have what you need and not more,
value more than the dollar sign,
then you will see, and not be blind.

These are but my simple words that I impart so they may help even but one person....

Not too much intelligence involved

To me, AI is insulting others online using someone else's words.

son of a beach

some people seek to make a splash or cause waves, I just try to enjoy the beach that I call life.

poetry by the day

Each day is like another verse in the poetry that is our lives.

trying to remember to forget....

Here's a beautiful and touching song called, "Don't Forget" by Pat Metheny.
It sort of dovetails with a saying I have had for many years since I was in a life changing accident. I came up with the saying, "I am trying to remember to forget"...as the challenges and changes I face since my accident make me wish I could remember to forget so much that 'was' my life and who I was before my accident.

lights, camera, inaction...

Life is like a movie.
Many people fast forward through my part.

waking stream of consciousness...

I am a simple person - both of means and of mind,
That's why my resources, like my friends are few,
but when I go to bed each night I know I am rich,
not with a fine home, or brand new clothes,
nor places to travel to and enjoy, but with peace.
What I have is old and tattered, my humor corny,
but my view of the world is not from above or below anyone else,
I am no greater or lesser than anyone,
being humble may not be a write off on my taxes,
but charity to me is it's own reward,
I only claim goodness of giving within my heart.
I'm not here for myself - but for others.
I am here to learn, so that I may teach.
I am selfless, not selfish,
That which I have not earned, I will not take.
I can accept that others may have more than I do,
I cannot accept that if I can help someone, that I do nothing.
When someone is weak and condescending to me,
I will have pity on their foolish liability of judging (others).

dreading Valentine's Day......

Why does love end and leave you so blue.
The answer is simple - it never was true.

Memorable?

I’d rather be forgotten, than remembered incorrectly.
