Thankful to have flown to Tulsa tonight instead of drive. I love road trips when you can stop and look and linger along the way, but it’s not so practical when you only have two days.

Juxtapose
Juxtapose….sitting in the airport looking at ships…wondering if my ship’s coming in while I’m sitting at the airport…

2020 Handstand
I do better at balancing life’s oddities,
than trying to stand upside down with my body. Regardless, a handstand is still going back on my list of goals for 2020.

Power to Decide
Some mistake my quietness
Regarding the political realm
As dis-interest or
Ambivalence
When in fact I hold
A very solid stance
Political power
Like many other things
Is a double edged sword
Your vote
Is your personal defense
Against those things
Which you don’t agree with
Or your personal offense
For those things
Which you do agree with
Or vise versa
But the world is tricky
It can easily
Manipulate your mind
And before you know it
Someone else is using your vote
As part of their offensive plan
Accurately educating yourself
On important issues is difficult
In the current fake news
Ever screaming wolf
Finger pointing and accusing
Stream of
Never ending negativity
Displayed in every form
Visual, audible, written
It’s easy to hear
The loudest message
It’s difficult to invest
Precious time
Sifting thru the barrage
To determine what is real
And what is garbage
Try to find the time
Shut out the world
Educate yourself
Exercise your power
Or keep your sword sheathed
Either way
The power of your vote
Can end up
Disempowering you

What’s your passion?
Note to self:
Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to live the life you were created to live. You’ve only got a few years left. What is your passion? Do that.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:7 KJV
Biscuits & Gravy
Old saying worth remembering: “Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy”
Youthful Memories
Apparently the Officer that stopped me for speeding was unaware that the speed limit changes when you’re listening to AC/DC. His annoyed response was, “I’ll tell you what I do know, if you don’t slow down you won’t be Back-in-Black, you’ll be Arriving-in-Blue, as in the backseat of my patrol car.”
….possible memory from my youth while driving a brown 1978 Trans-Am with the T-tops off, AC/DC blasting over the sound system, and trying to get a friend home before curfew.
