WAXING PHILOSOPHICAL

As I see the end of my life looming in front of my eyes, I think about what I want my children and their children  to know that I know and can pass down.  With every ending there's a new beginning. And it's a continuous flow. 

I wish for all of you a quieter time;  a simpler time;  understanding and cooperation with all kinds of people....find the beauty in each person that you meet;  freedom from keeping up with the Joneses;  the courage to be yourself;  the patience to explore and research and learn until it becomes addictive and pleasureable;  that you learn all you can about this world before you leave it;  the ability to know the difference between trash and treasure in all walks of life;  freedom of thought so profound it makes you rise above temptations that are bad for you;   freedom from unfortunate memories;  the ability to forgive;  the ability to rise above it all.  

Life is not a three act play with a beginning, rising action, a climax, falling action, denouement, , and an end.  

Life  ends right in the middle of things;  life ends when you least expect it;  life.......ends.
