She shared her pain like a Socialist… Thinking it was necessary for everyone to have a piece.

I suggested a Democratic approach… Maybe we could earn that privilege?

Her eyes glassed over, and dismissed me with her silence which was the desired outcome.

The stage was set.

The sun went down.

The dancers dance.

Throughout the town.

The sun came up.

The band still played.

The sinners slept.

The Saints they prayed.

More than I could ever need.

Desire for more is replaced by greed.

I’m Greedyguts!

Easter Sunday I want the store.

Give the lamb and the Lions roar…

I’m Greedyguts!

I want it all, much more than need.

Don’t know why it’s how I bleed.

I’m Greedyguts.

Bit off more than I could ever chew.

It’s something old and nothing new.

I’m Greedyguts!

They seem to be more common than uncommon, in fact they seem to be everywhere…

More than just cats and dogs, or fat and skinny…

More than just curious, it seems somehow strangely tolerant and accepting.

Gord wrote, ” He said, ‘Bring on a brand new renaissance… cause I think I’m ready.’ ”

Lisa said to her father after he offered her something from the barbecue. “Do you have anything there that hasn’t been brutally murdered?”

Homer answered “I think the veal died of loneliness.”

I’m just guessing Leonardo had a sense of humor.

My 7 year old was complaining about being sick and not everyone was believing her.

I picked her up for lunch and told her the story about the boy who cried Wolf!

She said, “Why would a little boy have the job of looking after sheep at night?”

When I was a kid in the 1960s, the farmers could be heard lamenting about a changing world that they feared.

Beautiful stone cobbled streets of small towns were replaced with “The Shopping Mall Generation!” AND cities grew. “Who would grow the food?” The farmers asked.

But did anyone see this coming down the pike? A generation so smart that they make money while they sleep?

A generation who became so important that not having children became for them, the best option. Which is probably the best thing since we can no longer determine genders…

I am not afraid. I am not in control. I am embarrassed… or am I entertained?

When you don’t have money the problem is eating.

When you have money the problem is relationships.

When you have both food and love; the problem is health.

No matter where you are, rich or poor…

It’s easy to focus on problems.

Reading books triggers me… and every now and then a book rocks my world in unexpected ways!

Many Lives, Many Masters is doing this now. Before that, The Power of Myth… Before that, Proverbs.

Not just to the information in the book, but dormant memories of something long forgotten or experienced and lost in that quagmire of time.

This is my pathway to riches.

What other pathways am I missing??For you can fill libraries with what I don’t know.
