NAPKIN WORDS #57 2011 - Dedicated to Mike Prevor

1. BRAIN WAVES OF HUMAN KINDNESS
Consistently pondering who I am. By doing
this, I can always learns ways to do better.

I applaud you, knowing you have always been
better. Knowing, when I raise you, I raise myself!

2. MIRACLE DRIP
A single tear is worth all of laughter, if it was
humor of family that caused it to fall!

3. TO A CHILD’S BIRTHDAY
Love is at the foundation of that very large
present, wrapped in bows.

Once opened, at the very bottom is the invisible
heart holding what the child wished. The gift
that was wanted!

4. THE MIDDLE EAST TODAY
So many deaths, cheated from their hope.

Charred bodies, burning dreams.

Huge crowds surging against wrongs of rule,
a child is crying and a mother weeps.

Guns are not silent, only voices of reason are
spoken from both fear and revulsion!

5. NEW YORK WONDER
Wisdom, when you are hungry, is always so much
thinner than the pastrami sandwich at Carnegie
Deli.

An added bit of New York wisdom: One needs
mustard, the other does not!

6. HOW OF JOY
When we seek happiness, most often it remains
invisible, can’t be found.

When we are sad, only then does happiness find,
discover, who we are.

I am starting to believe that true happiness is not
the joy we think it to be.

It is a medical curative, the great balm of
something greater. The best health plan
ever created!

7. SEX -THE REASON WE DO IT OVER & OVER
If history tells of your smile, let elated memory
allow it to happen again.

It is not just for procreation, it is also recreation
that causes elated memories.

Do it again for your memories!

 

BUDDHIST SEARCHING

There are those who know us more than
we can ever know ourselves.

Elders who knew of our earliest innocence
in its purest form.

When our first breath wafted puffs of life
towards bookkeepers watching,
insuring yet another name is
etched in ledgers where
Nirvana
is found.


We speak of heaven as a place of perfect
contentment, an inn for tomorrow,
where we never wish to leave,
nor ever do.

Cycles unknown of life are left to others.

Determined by watching existence lived
and preparations of kindness, before we
are allowed departure from
this human form.
