NAPKIN WORDS #46 2011 - Dedicated to Mike Prevor



1. LOST
Looking for everything, you might find something.

Looking, merely looking, you still will find
something.

In life, always look, something is always found!

2. THE MENTAL CURE INSIDE
With all of life’s absurdities, each of us must do
what we can to make it sane!

3. A QUESTION OF CHANGE
Just because we wish to change means little,
unless we actively do something to affect
that change.

We either do it, or don’t do it. It is not a seesaw,
there is no middle.

Understanding what that change should be, is
contemplation.

Doing the change is achievement!

4. SILENT WISDOM WALKING
It is upon failure’s road that success is most often
discovered!

5. SHOE SHINE EDUCATION
Never allow wisdom to become like unshined shoes.

Insure that once you have wisdom, it never wears
away.

On the other hand, wisdom is a bit like shoes, it
can always be polished to a greater shine!

6. YOUR NAME - HOW IT IS TOLD
To many, time is a great curse.

They understand history is memory.

It has the pen and it writes things down.

It has made off with the honorable name!

7. HMS BEAGEL* – SHIP OF DARWIN
The vessel upon which Mr. Darwin traveled and
began his studies, led him to discover how different
the species he observed were, as a result of their
isolation, from all similar species observed until
that time. He then proposed the Theory of
Evolution, which gave a scientific explanation of
how plants and animals change and evolve over
generations.

Here was an adventure that changed the way the
world thought!
*(1831 –1836) – Length of voyage



I SAW

The hawk who circled my sky

is gone.

Day by day, high above

the verdant foliage of

Central Park,

ripples of air where

it once flew

close.

A blindness of hope now

fills that space

and no matter my stare,

the hawk is gone.
