earth
air 
fire 
water
the four things the ancients 
made up everything else
along with 
love 
words
music
laughter
and the pursuit of knowledge
while the rest of us went off
and did all of the real work

good morning everyone,

sometimes life seems to be a little more than what I am willing to handle, but what else can I do, except to play the cards that I have been dealt with and pray for the rest. it is all good because God is still in control.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

the nights that I cannot sleep
and the muse is not cooperating
and my bed is empty
I sip my coffee and work on a cigarette
and listen to the most glorious silence
that anyone has ever heard
or will hear again
it's enough to make a man weep
but I do not
do you?

Good Morning Everyone,

Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair. Say too much and you get ignored. Don't say enough and you are not taken seriously. The rest of it really doesn't matter.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

Sometimes happy,
Sometimes sad,
Sometimes it all just runs together
And the world still keeps on turning.

Good Morning All of You Hipsters,
 
A few friends. Some coffee. Good conversation and plenty of jazz. What else is there that can make it much better?
 
So, it goes. Press on regardless.
 
Yours in The Spirit of The Music,

​Hello, All of You Caffeine Junkies,
 
Sometimes, when the words are not happening and the rest of the world it seems, doesn’t really seem to understand. I grab a cup of fresh brewed beans and wait for something to happen. It often does, better than I could have imagined.
 
So, it goes. Press on regardless.
 
Yours in The Spirit of The Bean,

Good Morning Everyone,
 
At times like this, which lately seems to be almost every day, I find myself wondering why it is that there are those who are able to do all of the things that they want to be able to do without any real thought about anyone else. They may give it lip service, but in the end, it seems that it is still always about them and what they have done and what they will do.
 
Not that I deny anyone anything as long as they have come about it honestly, but there are times when I want to say to these people, ‘You want a little humility to go with that?’
 
Well maybe it is just sour grapes, but it just seems to me that the only thing left to do is to just keep my mouth shut and pray that one of these days this dog will have his day. I just hope that I will be able to keep a sense of humility in all of that because it just might be a case of easy come and easy go.
 
Now where am I going with all of this, I am not sure, but it seems that this is just a good way to vent and still be heard. I have been saying, at least to myself, that I have a lot to say and that this just might be the only way that I am going to get heard.
 
There are worse things in life than not being heard, one of them is being ignored completely. There have been times in my life where I have gone unheard and unnoticed or at least that is the way that it seemed. Not that it was the case, but there were times when there were few other options that I had other than to just work with what it is that I had. It is better than no options at all.
 
So, if you will all pardon me while I step down off of my soapbox and gently put away my Stradivarius. Thank you for your time.
 
So, it goes. Press on regardless.
 
Faithfully Yours,
 
Lee

As it will always happen in life
we are going along
doing whatever it is that we are doing
when life comes along
and makes a mess of everything.
the only thing left to do in that case
is simply get up and keep on going
because the harder the fight
the sweeter the victory

there are times when the words are slow in coming
and do not always happen the way that I would like for them to happen
but this is the way that my life goes
almost every day
give the fact that what I plan for 
does not always happen
and what I am not expecting
happens every time.
​
So it goes. Press on regardless.
