Sometimes

the text

Did
you
know  sometimes you need to
           deny that  human life can be lived like
           you can keep it going as you have?

You're telling yourself that maybe this time
it'll be different.  Don't you know that's
                                  dangerous?
                                                                                        "Wait-- what?"

Sometime the
  tell-tell brain asks:
"How do you deal with this open wound?
 These are perilous days
 and lonely runs both ways?"

G
U  Well, I guess I'd answer:
L               "To make life better
P                                     love your life,
                because life is precious.         You
have to rethink everything you thought you knew.

There's more benefits of life in the slow lane.

The Art Of Living


the text

The Art
          of Living
can be puzzling.

Let's shed some lifht on life.

Control is an illusion.

Beware:  you can't
                take charge of your
extraordinary out of
                 control life.

You have had to del with heartache.

We shoud have
been more skeptical
                                      What're you
                                       gonna do?

            It has
become increasingly
clear that imperfeftion is what makes us human/

Let's get practical:  We live with what
        happens to us

We jump
       between the dim &
        the dark.

                 We live with open
        wounds.

Shape Up World


The text of the poem:

Now more than ever
the world needs
a wake up call.

I want to
help heal the world.

Everybody wants to be a hero.

So what! ...er, it's worth noting that
solutins
always arrive too late.

Know that no one and nothing is perfect.

You have the tools to be happy today.  All it takes is changing
your attitudes toward yourself and your place in the world.
