#PoetryFriday - Mirror, Mirror.

I was angry.
I was sad.
I was disconsolate without her.
I decided to run away.
I would find a path to happiness.
I saw clearly now.
Everything around me
was filled with obstacles.
I didn’t see the trees around me.
I just knew I had to get away from them.
I didn’t see the asphalt pavement
leading away,
and the darkness filled my vision,
as I watched myself run
to whatever was out there.
I escaped the bright lights,
and the traffic,
and the noise of the world,
as I ran.
I ran until I thought
I couldn’t run anymore.
I somehow wished
for a destination
that didn’t have the emotional baggage
of a lifetime.
After a time,
I realized that I couldn’t run anymore.
I knew that I was at a destination;
but, when I looked around,
even though the scenery was different,
I had a light bulb moment.
I realized that there was something familiar.
I realized that,
as far as I had run,
I was still there.
Some things can’t be escaped.
Some things have to be accepted.
Some things can’t be run away from.
The mirror told me the truth.
The mirror couldn’t lie.

 

What's Your Halloween Costume?

 

I was worrying about my costume this year. I have some cool masks: an alien, an old man, a Parrot. But, then I realized that I have been worrying for nothing. I have the perfect costume in my closet.

#ParrotSunday - Parrots Don't Keep Secrets.

In An Ideal World.

In an ideal world, the hotspot feature of your Samsung phone would automatically connect to your Windows notebook wherever you were. It would appear as a WiFi option on your Windows computer when you powered up. Presto, connect to the phone, and off you go into Internet nirvana. Well, children, that day has come, and soon your Windows 11 computer will do just that. The partnership between Microsoft and Samsung is a recognition that the most popular operating system and the best smartphones in the world should be working together. No more having to separately set the phone hotspot first. Since we rock several smartphones from Samsung, and have a TMobile hotspot device, we will never be without an Internet connection. What to do in the remote hinterlands in our RV, you ask? Why, SpaceX and Starlink to the rescue, of course.

#WhyIAmASolo - The Only Person Who Gets Paid Around Here Is Me.

Okay, in a solo practice, there can be days when even I don't get paid. But, not having to make payroll can be a real stress reliever. I don't need payroll clerks, complicated accounting and salary schemes; and, most importantly, never have to attend compensation meetings. If there is money in the bank, and bills to pay, I pay them. If there is money left over, I buy a gadget. At my age, it is good to realize that life is really pretty simple, if you let it be. Go solo. You won't get rich; but, you will be happier, I promise. And, you won't roam the halls, wondering who is being productive and who isn't.

#PoetryFriday - Surrender.

He used to know what love was.
He touched her skin
and felt the pulse speed up,
the heat of the temperature
rising,
and lusty afternoons
spent in her embrace.
He thought he knew about passion,
and learned about days
spent seeking it.
When she came to him,
He was young
and alive,
and ready for the future.
The pleasure and pain
of knowing her,
became commonplace,
and he spent hours and days and weeks,
trying to experience it
again
and again.
As time went by,
He felt the magic
soften
and disappear.
He didn’t really know
anything
about love,
after all.
When she introduced herself
to the older him,
she didn’t try to push him away.
She surrendered to him,
and he allowed himself
to see other things.
When their skin dulled,
and the lust turned to familiarity,
and the age slowed the pace,
he discovered a passion for living,
and put away useless things.
When he surrendered,
he knew that there was no battle
to be fought,
no war to be won.
There was only a lifetime
left for the passion
of surrender.
