NAPKIN WORDS #14 2011

1. IN OUR WORLD OF LIMITED TIME
Have beautiful moments, knowing they may be
limited, instead of ugly thoughts taking all your
time!

2. UNLESS IT IS YOUR BEST FRIEND
Never stop a fool from announcing their
presence!

3. THE HEART GETS PHYSICAL
Love is the adventure unseen, the high
mountain inside that dares to be climbed.

It is the conquest of climbing ever steeper
emotions, step by step!

4. IMAGERY
Shadows slip gently upon rays of the sun, until
they grasp onto rails of our newest dawn!

5. TIME QUESTION OF BELIEF
After a long, and for me at least, an
adventurous life, living all over the globe, I
have no problem understanding that there
will come a time when I am no longer able to
have those adventures.

The adventures to come are what interest me
now. Where they take place, I cannot say. Yet I
am certain that somewhere, they will take place!

6. HUBRIS
It is my belief that the greatest problem with the
current administration, is that when it was first
voted into office, instead of saying to themselves,
“We are small, now we must learn much so we can
grow into a largeness that the voters expect of us.”

They clapped each other on the back and
said...“We are GIANTS, it is the voters who are
small.”

Now, those very same “small voters” are watching
just how tiny GIANTS can become!

7. AMAZING HUMAN
Frogs leap.
Mosquito’s buzz.
Turtles crawl.
Snakes slither.
Humans, while they also leap, buzz, crawl and
slither, have another capability that other
creatures lack, instead of just instinct, we know
it as hope.

8. TO SIT AMONG THEM
When you wish to be considered wise by those you
acknowledge as wise, the best thing to do is spend
as much time as you can among them. Listening
always, yet remaining silent. After a months time,
speak, for then the wise will listen to your wisdom!

OVERHEARING TWO LADIES AT LUNCH

Conversation shadowed their
years, those telling,
times so filled
with love.

A daughter living on her
own in New York
City.
A mother living alone
in
Kansas City.

Once, there were three
around their dinner
table, but he is
now gone,
now gone
to earth.

The mother spoke of her
sorrow,
the daughter told of her
ambition.

With all that, so much
sorrow and ambition,
they still laughed girlishly
at a
Mother’s day joining.
