Will We Never Learn?


"There is a special place in my heart for the elderly who have few people willing to come and share their time with them so they can keep their scales of happiness and sadness in balance. I love to see the twinkle in their eyes and the smiles on their face as I share my time with them and relive with them some of the great joys that continue to give them the will to live and love on into the future.

And, at the very end of their lifetime, standing by the gravesite, we hear people lamenting that they wish they had shared more of their precious time with them. And so, history repeats itself for those who still haven't learned how to manage their time and are forced to place yet another sorrow on the scales that measure their lifetime. Will we never learn?"      J.

Wisdom’s Point Of View


Only when we admit to being absolutely certain about nothing in particular do we finally become aware of all that is possible. Then, it is from this point of view that we can find and put some wisdom in what we say and what we do.

Prime Number


Only those that know me best will understand that my primary goal in this life is to become a prime number, indivisible by any other.

Time Share?


"Look into the eyes of a child as they share their accomplishments with you and see the joy they also wish to share with you. I remember those special moments.

Look into the eyes of a young adult as they cross over the threshold into adulthood and stand tall on their own for the first time. See the joy in their eyes as they chart their course into a bright future and pause for a moment to thank you for all your support. I remember those special moments.

 Look into the eyes of an old man or woman as they recant the tales of their past that gave them so much joy and see the story of their lifetime written on their faces for all to see. I have shared many of these moments with those who came before me.

 What will they see when it is my turn? Who will I share my joy with? Who will still want to share some of their time with me?" J.
