Wild Fact About Me I believe that telling the truth means more than just not lying.
My Philosophy "Modern" civilization was in many ways rigid, orthodox, parochial and needed to be shattered. When it was shattered, in the years between 1968 and 1972, the post-modern period began and we stopped looking to the future -- stopped looking forward and outward and began looking backward and inward. No one ever bothered to pick up the pieces of the modern era and put Humpty Dumpty back together again. It's time for the next era to begin, including the best of the modern, but in a fairer, more thoughtful, more inclusive way. It's time to look back to our future.
What Gives Me Hope Sunrise.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Increase by 1,000,000 times funding for development of experimental energy technologies and double that for education.
What/who changed my life and why J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings' (the books, not the movies), and 'The Iron Giant' (the movie, not the book), because they both taught me that anyone can be a hero who chooses it.
What Bugs Me indifference, injustice, selfishness, hipocracy, pretense, drama vampires  
Passions too many to list  
Inspirations My Dad, Socrates, Mary Magdalene, Neil Armstrong, JFK, RFK, MLK, Lincoln, Truman  
What Scares Me People without conscience  
  Favorites

A Smile Is Worth a Thousand Words

to do it. It will light your heart.
I wish you my dear Friend a week full of smiles.

"The people I'm furious with
are the women's liberationists.
They keep getting up on soapboxes
and proclaiming
women are brighter than men.
That's true, but it should be kept quiet
or it ruins the whole racket."

- Anita Loos -
 New York Times, 10 February 1974

 

 ... I simply love this quote.
I hope that it makes you smile

Reasons to Smile:

- Remember its quite true to say
       One smile is worth a dozen frowns.
- It enriches those who receive,
Without making poorer those who give.
- Among the worlds expensive things
A smile is very cheap.
- The world will seem a better place
And all because you smiled.
- And after all this my dear Friend
Just give a big one: it's Weekend



... so, I wish you a wonderful one.
And, smile dear Friend
With Love

Our friendship is an ocean
Stretching
Far and wide
Never ending
Filled with memories
That last a lifetime
Our friendship is
Just like the stars
Both go beyond
Man's reach
So best friends it is
Now and forever.
That's the best feeling there is
Nothing could be better
Now and forever.

 

 With Love

in the universe and he'll believe you.
Tell him a bench has wet paint on it
and he'll have to touch to be sure."

 I hope you smile too dear friend

Kindness to Animals

Little children, never give
Pain to things that feel and live
Let the gentle robin come
For the crumbs you save at home
As his meat you throw along
He’ll repay you with a song.
Never hurt the timid hare
Peeping from her green grass lair
Let her come and sport and play
On the lawn at close of day.
The little lark goes soaring high
To the bright windows of the sky
Singing as if t'were always spring
And fluttering on an untired wing
Oh! Let him sing his happy song
Nor do these gentle creatures wrong.



... and a blessed week sweet friend
With Love
Ana

Let Me Live
The darkness is closing in
Soon I will be gone
Why do I deserve this?
I've done nothing wrong.
I'm thrown in to a crate
I feel so cold and alone
I wonder what's next
The future is unknown.
Hundreds of others around me
Screaming for their parents
I know they will not come
They've been shot protecting us.
Everyday this happens
Innocent animals killed for money
Another day, another kill
It's not the one bit funny.
Do your self a favour
If not for you, for your future kids
Save us endangered animals
Please just let us live!
by Amy Carnes (aged 10)

is still in our power. Earth is our home

so let us thank Her giving a chance to cure

the wounds we made."

A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.





... with Love

"Someone has said that a friend is a bank
of credit on which we can draw supplies
of confidence, counsel, sympathy, help,
and love. And that is true, for if you have
a genuine friend, you possess riches greater
than silver or gold. Which, of course, brings
us to the other sideof the question:
are you, and am I, the kind of friend
that others can treasure?"

Friends

There's nothing as nice
As someone who shares,
Your laughter, your secrets,
Your wishes and cares,
Someone who's there
Through your good times and tears,
Who stays by your side
As your friend through the years.

"Nothing is great
like friendship on earth.
 No jewel no pearl has got it's worth.
 No one except a friend
 can be trusted.
Your life will never ever get rusted."

Standing by,
All the way.
Here to help you through your day.

Holding you up,
When you are weak,
Helping you find what it is you seek.

Catching your tears,
When you cry.
Pulling you through when the tide is high.

Just being there,
Through thick and thin,
All just to say, you are my friend.



... have a wonderful weekend my dear friend
