"Once I Had a Friend"
Once I Had a Friend.
As I look at my photo (above), I ask myself, “Am I Praying? Am I Sleeping? Or, Am I Just Reflecting?”. Maybe I am doing all three. As I advance toward my 80th year, life becomes anticipation and reflection.
It is with sadness that I recognize my little dog of 14 years, Missy, is close to a final farewell. I am filled with happy memories of her beautiful life, and know I will soon miss her.
I also look forward to many happy years with my newest pal, Rosie, my 3-year-old chihuahua who seems to think my neck is a perfect perch for her.
I am reminded of verse I wrote for my boyhood friend, Chock, whom I shared a final meal with on his death bed at the old Veterans Hospital in Little Rock many years ago. In a reflective mood, I share it with you.
Once I Had a Friend
Once I had a friend, and what a friend was he.
He made me laugh, and made me smile,
When we were only three.
Now I am a man, and many years I see.
But still it is fun to remember the one
who filled my heart with glee:
In my heart I will always be three.

Within every living creature in the universe dwells a “Spirit of Executive” – that mysterious force, beyond understanding, that makes us what we are.

"Possessed By Genius of Life"
As a child, I looked up to the heavens on a clear night and imagined a Cosmos filled with life. In my senior years, I still sense a magnificent living Universe, existing in forms different from my being in human form.

“HAVE I DONE A GOOD JOB?"
Have I Done A Good Job? I ask myself this question every day. One of my social media sites says I have over 5,000 followers, but I really do not know why.
I am grateful to have reached my 79th birthday, and I am grateful I still have a clear mind, and plenty of creative energy.
This morning, I heard a person being interviewed in a televised hearing flaunt the fact that they had been in public service for over 30 years. I immediately wondered, “Did that person do a good job – one that benefited and enriched others?".
Such is my goal in life. My hope is that others will benefit for my having been here.

Is the Dreamer that I Dream,
also Dreaming I'm a Dream?
Are we each the Other's Ruse,
Picked by Fate, or Do we Choose?
Is One the Other's, Other One,
One of Two, and Two of One?
Is What We are just What we Seem,
Dreaming Dreamers, Dreaming Dreams?
