NAPKIN WORDS #25 2010

1. A POSSIBLE REASON FOR CLOUDS
Go ahead, try to capture a cloud.

Then, only then, will you learn how
elusive is happiness.

Yet try, always try, for happiness is
there, just like the clouds!

2. AS YOU LIVE IT
Storms always should be expected.

Tranquility, always a surprise!

3. CRYSTAL CLEAR
Only a fool lets tomorrow spoil
today!

4. BARTER
Each and every day ask yourself:

Would you trade all your possessions
for contentment?

The first day that you answer this
question with a yes, that is the day
to start your trading!

5. WELL THAT EXPLAINS THAT
Eureka is not theory, it is discovery!

6. MEAT ON THE BONE
The wolves of time are sharp toothed.
They hide in the darkness of time,
aglow with venomous eyes.

They are always hungry.

They know us well. They are
patient.

In the end, we are theirs, they
tear away our flesh.

We are gone, we do not feel their
pain, we have found a place where
wolves can’t go!

7. SOMETIMES A NEED
When a lark sings, always try to
listen.

When your spouse sings, go into
the kitchen – demand pancakes.

Settle for eggs and a cup of coffee!

8. I STARED
She had the beauty of ages, and
throughout the evening, she
displayed ages of beauty!

MEMORIAL DAY PRAYER

Away, in such distant lands,

within the harsh turmoil’s

of war,

are children of wishes,

warding off evil

with the grace

of

willingness, a bravery

of giants.

Go gently,

go safely,

we await at

home.

We know and honor

the heroes

you are.

We, your family, your

friends,

we citizens unknown,

await your smile.

Let it be not that

God alone is blessed.

Let it be certain

that here at home

we dared to

honor you!
