It is always good to take the always out. I had them once, the usual shall's and shall not's. But I'd get variously obese with life, and they couldn't hold me in. Nor could I do honor to them, they were so easily disappointed. I believed of course that one should always keep a promise. But I learned?so I could still feel decent, I suppose?to take the always out. It is always good to take the always out.

Something is not quite right.
I am growing older and more foolish...
Or maybe just more aware of my foolishness...
And maybe that is how wisdom comes for some?
Love Song to The Moment:

You'll give me the gift of the present
The holy Here and Now
And then you'll walk away
Leaving me to bow.
Forehead to the ground
Rising up to know
Something Lost is
Something Found
Life's always on the Go.
You don't ask the
