Okay, I won't get you started on the lowly god of this earth . . . (and, I don't
like or dislike him). Your goal is simple and good. It is something that you must
pay attention to from time to time. Don't take anyone for granted. That is another
profound bit of wisdom that I have picked up in my journey through time and space on
this precious living rock. To survive, you must believe that you will . . . and you
must know that you are better than everyone . . and you must be humble enough to
put yourself beneath everyone . . . and you must prove to have a love for your
friends and your enemies. To be happy, you must be aware that more exists than the
lowly position to which we are born.

I believe that some of what you are describing is called the "sensation seeking"
personality type. It is a very important aspect to have, yet something else must
exist. And, please note that I do not consider myself an expert on any of this.
These are just the opinions of a lowly student of life's ways.
Imagine . . . your friend is taking you to lunch for no reason. You have recently
gotten out of college, and you are about to start a new job. You have been in your
apartment throughout college, and you have no real plans for the future. You are
taking life one step at a time. Your friend takes you home but makes an interesting
detour through a nice section of town. He stops in front of a beautiful house with
a garden so powerful to your senses as to bring tears to your eyes. He asks you to
join him for something as he gets out of the car and begins to walk to the front
door of this mansion. As you join him, he talks to you of your friendship and the
future and happiness and caring and love and other such things. Then, he turns to
you and gently takes your hand . . . and places something into the palm of your
hand. As he holds your hand, he speaks of the beauty of your spirit and of the
kindness he sees within your heart. And as he watches your face carefully, you look
in the palm of your hand only to see a key. He tells you that the house is yours .
. . a gift from him. Your are speechless. He watches you as a tear comes from the
corner of your eye, because you understand and are happy. You understand that he
gave you this gift . . . because he knew that you would love it dearly . . . because
he would be able to see the expression on your face . . . because he loves you.
Robin, this is what I see within myself as I grow. That is what I expect from
myself . . . that I am happy, because I make a difference in someone else's life.
Because I make someone else happy and content . . . Because I make someone's life
better . . .
That is one of my goals in life. That is why I am worthy.
A wise man once explained . . . the most important commandments of God . . . are to
love God with your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength . . . and to love your
neighbor as yourself.
um . . . er . . . I'm being kicked off the 'puter now. I will try to write more
later.

You did not confuse me . . . I hope that I don't confruze you . . . {evil grin}
Till next time,
friend and companion-spirit of poets . . .
