NAPKIN WORDS #5 2011 - Dedicated to Mike Prevor

 

1. FOR THINGS OF LIFE
Life should give you four of everything.

If it is directions, east, west, north and south.

If it is wisdom, it should provide you with
argument, reason, agreement, and calm.

If it be family, it is grandparents, parents,
children, grandchildren.

Lastly, it must have a history...past, present, future,
hope!

2. UPON THE LOOM OF LIFE
I am lost in the twill of my own imagination.

My fabric is forever flawed, yet the shuttles
go back and forth, weaving, always weaving,
until I run out of thread, the yardage completed
is not kept, it is tossed aside.

Damaged goods without a goodbye.

Just the way it is at this factory!

3. UNDERSTANDING
There is no wisdom in luggage lost, or anger
found!

4. THE STRANGE NAME QUESTION
Humanity achieved its purpose partly by
war, partly by peace.

The problem has always been: it still does
not know its purpose, so it goes to war, makes
peace and calls itself humanity!

5. SUPERIORITY BLISS
What one achieves by ego, regardless of
fact!

6. LIVING THE OSTRICH LIFE LIVE
I was sitting at the bar in a New York City
restaurant. It was a day that the temperature
broke 100, the humidity drenched both my
soul, and my spirit. Here is what I overheard:

“Only when the last blade of grass turns
brown, only then might I change my ways.”

The climate around the globe is changing.
Whether this is caused by nature, by man,
by a combination, we had best change our ways,
or, in the very near future, there will be no
conversation to overhear!

7. THE WHEN TIME
When someone tells you...”I swear to God,”
that’s the perfect time to question their belief!

DISCOVERING

I met beauty filled with
fear.
Only to find I discovered
love.

Her heart, soul, wore a
wondrous
smile.

While her mind, words.
dressed them
both.
