​Instinct
 
Looking for something better, something higher than what I have been doing, what I have been feeling.
That all of this is just someone else’s bad dream, that I really do not exist.
Finding very little in life that is worth the effort.
Growing older by the minute.
Feeling the passions of hunger and having no one to help me quench this thirst.
It all becomes much too real.
Money, possessions, and that there comes a time when I have to be willing to let it all go.
If we let it, what we own can end up consuming us, becoming slaves to the material world.
In the last full measure of time, I find myself feeling the need to keep on moving, trying to forget the meaning of this thing called life.
The days slip away much to quickly, but do we have any knowledge of the passage of time?

living on fresh air and sunshine
it is a possibility
but not very practical.
I think that I had better stick
to what I have been doing.

​Good morning,
the one thing that I know for sure, at the moment anyway, is that there are times when I seem to remember that I actually had a life. A life. But it seems so long ago now. that I am not sure whether it is my memories or my memories of someone else memories. sometimes it is hard to tell, but the only thing that I am going to be able to do right now is to just go along with it all and wait and see where all of this will end up taking me. it's all good.
so it goes. press on regardless.
faithfully yours,
lee

​good morning,
I find myself being mindful that I am spending too much time surfing the internet in search for what, I am not sure, but it strikes me that there is just so much information on just what you might ever strike your fancy, that it is hard to know where to start and certainly when to stop. what to do? It's all good.
so it goes. press on regardless.
faithfully yours,
lee

keep it simple
keep it straight
keep it inline
because it can become a bloody
mess in a hurry
and we have forgotten where 
it was that we were going.

dignity within the ides of 
feeling as if I am
sometimes being
what would appear
to be a bourdon 
I wish this were not the case
because it is certainly feeling
as if I am feeling that way

​good morning,
it is still true, that if I had known that I was going to live to be this old, that I would have taken better care of myself. right now I am just feeling very arthritic and with the threat of snow over the next couple of days, this out to make things rather interesting as far as trying to get around. I hope that you are well and that I will be hearing from you soon. so it goes, press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,
Lee

​Good Morning,
at the moment, I am feeling a little less arthritic, but not much. well all that I can do right now is to just try and keep things as possible over the next two or three weeks. filed  my income tax electronically earlier and everything worked out so far, of course anything and the iinternnet and technology, the government manages to screw the whole thing up. of course there are those whowoukld say that it is all about me and that I was the one the one that screwed the whole thing up. well, it is what it is. I hope that you are well and that I will be hearing from you soon. so it goes. press on regardless.
faithfully yours,
lee

What I came back to is that jazz is a music to be played and not to be intellectualized on.

​  Living in the past
hoping for the future
but it doesn't do me much good now
when I have to live with the realities of the present
but does give me something to work toward.

​Good Morning,
Thank God for the classics. If for no other reason, they give me something else to listen to other than for the garbage that is out there that is being passed off as music. inn my opinion 90% of the music that has come out over the past fifty or so years is little more than just a lot of noise to me and is not worth my time listening to again, but if you happen to like it that's your thing and my thing is my thing. and the only thing that I can hope for, is that we agree to disagree and remain friends. needless to say, I have always had a weakness for the classics, to begin with, needless to say, that my choice in music did not hold much weight as far as making me one of the most popular people in high school. it really didn't matter to me then and it certainly does not matter to me now. It's all good. So it goes. Press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,
Lee

life begins and life ends
and we are still left looking for answers
to questions that we know do not have any answers
but on one level
it is better than not asking any questions at all
so the best is always just a day away.

​Good Morning,
As we enter the Christmas season, this being the first Sunday of Advent, let us take the time to remember this simple truth, that without Christmas there is no Easter, and the message of Easter is what we, as Christians hang our lives on. God's blessings be on all of us now and forever, So it is, Press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,
Lee

Sleep comes
not often when I need it,
but when sleep is ready for me
and that is not always under
the best of circumstance,    

​Saturday. November 21, 2020

what right do I have to be sitting 
playing with words
in the hope
that someday
I will finally get it right
I just hope that it isn't to late.

Good Morning,
words upon words.
love and hate
joy and despair
all of the things
that we understand
about being human
to live 
breathe
and to try and be
alive.
is there anything nobler
than this.

​Saturday, November 14, 2020


live
love
laugh
the things that
we look forward 
to doing
when other things 
are not
occupying our time.

​good morning,
sometimes the only thing that I can do is to just work from where I am not, and I feel that I a not doing a very good job of it all. It seems that there is always something that is getting in my way, like having to sleep. I have to work on that. it seems sleeping is such a waste of time but is something that I need to be doing, like breathing. this just what happens. where is all of this going, I have no idea. It's all good. So it goes. Press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,
Lee

​Good Morning,
It's all good, except for the election on Tuesday. I am still of the opinion, are these two individuals the best that their respective parties have to offer. I think not, but it is the only game in town. SO it goes. Press on regardless.
Faithfully Yours,
Lee
