" Love
 is what's in the room
 with you
 at Christmas
 if you stop 
opening presents 
and listen."

Bobby

 " There is that
 indescribable freshness
 and unconsciousness
about an illiterate person
 that humbles
 and mocks
the power of the
 noblest expressive
 genius.  "

Walt Whitman

















My Friend:

I want YOU

to open YOUr

 own wings

and take off -

Not pump you up

with words

and throw you

off a cliff.












Whatever beauty
you find here
wouldn't bloom
without
the inner truth
YOU bring!

" The best is one
who calls others
to their best.
 And those who
 heed the call
 are also blessed. "
Hesiod

Thank YOU
for sharing

    I very much hate to disagree with the great Whitman but that is not the case in my experiences. Now on the other hand there are many times the highly educated do say and do things of utter stupidity.

    And yes, I do not exclude myself. If I do not do something stupid before 9:00am I start to get worried.
