Life is pretty simple here. I like to keep it that way. No immediate threats to my little corner of the world. But the bigger threats out there beyond this island are huge. I take what action I can, but realize ultimately that stopping the greed machine will take an army of us. We write and go to zoning meetings, but in the end, greed will win out. I'm that cynical about it.

I find that most of the things i feared were placed upon me as baggage others owned but did not have the balls to carry for themselves.

I get the first to many people would rather bathe out of a bottle, which at times makes me homicidal if i could think of a good defense. But thunder has always been a sign of short term loss for a long term gain as long as it is mixed with the rain. Don't worry though fears change as we age, when you get to the point where your greatest fear is a broken hip you'll know that you have come to the place where your wisdom rules your emotion.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-81488236832105158972013-07-30T07:21:58.896-04:002013-07-30T07:21:58.896-04:00Thank you Ivan *shrug* you're more the scholar...Thank you Ivan *shrug* you're more the scholar than I, I simply write from two places what I feel and what I see.

Lions, Tigers And Bears OH MY!<br /><br />It really is OK to take back that other which was stolen from you--the lack of fear of living in a society of the world that you find comfortable, fear free. They use money as our freedom and our chain, if we in our hearts devalued it the way most have devalued education or basic knowledge we would find our minds and more importantly our hearts changed.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851056198631557096.post-81893333820139679562013-07-30T05:57:58.865-04:002013-07-30T05:57:58.865-04:00Beautiful poem.
