“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient.
It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.” - Winnie the Pooh

rolling on the floor laughing nice!
i'll eat my shorts,
i'll roll in the dirt,
i'll mumble and drool,
but when it comes to the crunch don´t expect me to be your fool!
wink
by me! grin cheers

Perfection is a road, not a destination.
Every time I live, I get an education.

Nice, I like it but I think I can improve it.

Life is a road, not a destination
Every day I live, I get an education.

Hope you don't mind.wave

Life isnt about the number of breaths we take,
but about the things that take our breath away.

Along the riverbank under the trees, I discover footprints!
Even under the fragrant grass I see his prints.
Deep in the remote mountains they are found.
These traces no morecan be hidden than
one's noselooking heavenward.

We tell ourselves stories in order to live....
We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.

This is a poem I posted under another user name. I also posted the one above. But....I decided to change my user name. What can I say.........I'm fickle.

'The Faery's Dance'

Hear the laughter
All into the night
See the splendor
What a wonderful sight!

Songs of great joy
Ring through the air
See the faery dance
So lovely and fair

Her garment made of leaves
Silver hair cascading down
Movements so graceful
Her feet make no sound

She dances 'til early dawn
Then steps through the mists
Into that otherworldly realm
Land of happiness and bliss
