Past lessons

Present condition

Future vision

My past is long my future short

What's a great lesson can I extort

Study and train how to manage my mind

Be grateful, loving and never unkind

It's not what happens but how we react

That far and away has the greatest impact

Having a vision will help set a clear course

But staying peaceful is our greatest resource

So pursue your vision with patience and zest

Our little drama is just a great cosmic jest

Past lessons

Present condition

Future vision

 

2/22/26 Keep up the pace We all lose the race cc 3/11 /19

Keep up the pace 

We all lose the race

I sit and ponder how quick life goes

And sand the dead skin from my toes

This day can be the best one yet

I'll be kind and grateful without regret

Stand straight,relax there's still much to learn

Study and think there's no time to burn

There still may be time to create my vision

If I give up all my indecision

This may be the day

I'll stay out of the way

Keep up the pace 

We all lose the race

2/15/26 Made into slaves By the perceptions Taught us as children. cc 9/6/18

Made into slaves

By the perceptions

Taught us as children

Children should be seen and not heard

Don't talk so loud your looking absurd

Look with your eye and not with your hand

What about that don't you understand

Don't touch yourself you'll go straight to hell

Go to confession your sins you'll dispel

Don't speak unless you're spoken to

Do what I say and not what I do

Don't point, sit still you're embarrassing me

I know what I'm doing don't disagree

Made into slaves

By the perceptions

Taught us as children

2/10/26 Onlly now cc 5/1/18

Only 

Now

Howling winds and blowing snow

Another day the same old show

One by one the days march by

Some day soon I'm gonna die

But today can be the best one yet

I'll live it fully without regret

Study, learn and write some bullshit

Do push-ups, sit-ups and try to stay fit

Break the chains and charge ahead

There's a lot to do before I'm dead

Only

Now

2/5.26 Let the Mystery be cc 7/8/18

Let the

Mystery be

What am I doing where am I going

There ain't no way of really knowing

I make a guess and try something new

Then I would ponder while I did a review

The seasons change the rains always come

Sometimes I'm smart quite often dumb

The Romans build some coliseums

The Germans had their mausoleums

Birdsongs greet the early sunrise

I'll be kind and grateful to my demise

Let the

Mystery be
