NAPKIN WORDS #51 2010

1. OBEY IT WILLINGLY
Aging gently is the kindest prescription
that time can write.

If you do it wisely, it is truly the cure
for most of life’s incapacitating ills!

2. FLIPPER ERA
When our economy was tame, we could be
wild, and we were.

It is when economies are wild, filled with
questions, by God, how tame we become.

Our limbs have become numb and in that
catatonic state, we know what we lost!

3. FLOODS IN PAKISTAN
It is not the drowning.

It is the surviving when one wishes to
submerge!

4. HERE IS A TRUTH
Tomorrow guides you tomorrow.

In never guides you today, except for the wise
magic of preparation and that wondrous joy
of expectation of what can happen tomorrow!

5. WITH THE FLAMES OF TIME
When I go, I hope that my family has the
kindness to have me cremated, and that they
crush the remaining bones so all which is left
are my ashes, to be lifted by the winds.

I never want someone to say...I HAVE A
BONE TO PICK WITH HIM!

7. THE WRAPPING
Wisdom is a wish.

Intelligence is a gift!

8. SQUEEZING
We each are held by virtue and vice,
lost when it is one or the other!

9. VALUE
The beauty of wonder is that it is both an
accident and a reward!

10. BELIEF
God did not make humanity so it could be left
alone.

God made life so God could be with us.

Such was, is, and will always be the wisdom
of belief!

TWENTY FOUR HOURS
What shall you offer, if

not your kindness?


Then, all anyone can

refuse is a niceness

of you.


Upon your bed sleeps

a well earned

contented

smile.


Deep in slumber, dream

of tomorrow, elated

at what you tendered,

of who you are.
