POEM 33 OPEN MIND

Don’t be afraid to speak your mind

You can do it without being unkind

To live life fully, open your mind

Receive ideas, they needn’t be aligned

Trust is precious, give it and receive

Share yourself and you will achieve

Welcome the adventure, assume the uncertainty

Life has its problems, never carefree

To experience it will bring peace and tranquility

POEM 34 THE ROAD

The road may be long, but not lonesome

I feel sorry for those living in a slum

I have myself as good company

Driving is meditative, I stare blankly

I am in control of my universe

I’m singing my happy song, on third verse

Outside the air is hot and dry

The most interesting clouds fill the sky

My back is sore, the day is done

I marvel at how far we’ve come

I would say, for the most part my life has been low key, but I do have some experiences not everybody has. I graduated from the University of Washington with a Business degree majoring in accounting. I have worked for two of the components of the Dow Industrial Average index. I was briefly a member of the 1% club and misplaced my membership card. I have ridden motorcycles, wrecked a 40’ boat, had a 36’ boat destroyed in a marina fire and spent two weeks in court being sued for $500k (I won). As a self-employed builder, I built over 300 homes and had 20 people working for me. I still have a couple of dragons to slay, this blog being one of them.
