NAPKIN WORDS #81 2011 - Dedicated to Mike Prevor

1. SOMETIMES THE WAY IT IS
Love is very much like that olive at the bottom
of a martini glass.

No matter how capable you are, it is often
impossible to grasp it the first time you try!

2. PHILOSOPHY OF LEARNING
Ask as if you have lived life to its fullest.

Question, for you understand you are always
hungry.

Hear answers, not to sate the hunger, but to
know there is always so much more to digest!

3. WISDOM AND COMPLACENCY
When you stare at something where you can make
a difference, instead of staring at a wrong and not
trying to make a difference!

4. THE TRUTH IS
I am gentle because I choose to be gentle,
regardless of your fears, not because of your
fears!

5. ASKING ABOUT NORWAY
Be careful the cut of meat, when the server is both
a pariah and a hater!

6. ANSWERING YOUR OWN QUESTION
I have lived an adventurous life.

I have lived a happy life along with periods
where life was harsh.

I have lived a long life, satisfied.

What more can be asked at the end of time?

For me, the answer is crystal clear!

7. DO WE ASK OF THE WAY TO LIVE
Anyone and all can live, but how many do it
with kindness?

That is the question we all should value!

8. ANOTHER REASON TO REMEMBER
Whatever you willingly surrender, is lost.

Even should it be found again, it is never the
same.

Remember this, should you ever decide to give
something up.

Yet should you decided to give something up
after a great deal of contemplation, then give it
up, let it be gone, no longer part of your memory.
Regret is worse then remembering!

GLIDING TWO

The hardest wheelchair
to move around,
is the one being
pushed by a
stranger.

The easiest, is the one

being pushed
by love!
