I have always wanted to know
what was real,
how things really are,
and what matters.
Now that I have had the privilege
of living over half a century,
I realize that this is the time
to fully be the person, friend,
and influence, that I have been
in training my whole life to become.
I invite you to join me.
It's easy to win an argument,
lob a remark like a hand grenade,
and then retreat to the comfort
of familiar prejudices.
It is much harder to reach out
in sincerity to your neighbor
and find solutions.
Just reaching is
the first step.
I invite you to join me.
Handle the most
important things in life
like people's feelings
with the lightest touch.
Don't Forget
To look up!
