Looking
Not standing still
Moving forward
Actively becoming
OOPS I said the being word
On the journey
In the process
searching
Looking for something
until it is found
then developed
and integrated
the journey
never ends
it is the excitement
the punch
in my life
Will I ever be content
to be still?
yes
daily
there is a core of me
at the center
that distills
by values
which I hold
as a guide
it brings the clarity
despite the change
around me
nothing new
it has led me through
many journeys
and will continue
till my journey
is through

Opportunity
Opportunity
is all around me
seize the moment
take the reins
ride long & hard
while it lasts
Like all other things
in life
it comes & goes
whether you take it
or not
Opportunity
learn to recognize
the signs
A need fulfilled
as simple
as drinking water
Opportunity
watch for it
be vigilant
be ready to act
put your heart 'n soul
into it
Opportunity
is a dream come true
something
you must do
step out of
your comfort zone
Opportunity
awaits

Looking Back at Small Ideas
Looking back
who created the paper clip?
who made
the first bread machine?
How did we store things
without folders
pentaflex holders
and file cabinets?
There was a time
before our time
when ten common things
of our day
did not exist
cars
watches
cell phones
skate boards
roller blades
calculators
computers
credit cards
radios
televisions
this list could be
hundreds more
if we only knew
what sparks
the human spirit
to discover more
to be more
to redefine life as it is
to life as it will be
imagine
not only looking back
but looking forward
what is your ten things?

It Matters Not
It matters not
where you go
or what you do
the battle of life
is within
For in all you do
wherever you go
there is more than enough
Life overflows
with opportunity
to grow
to make your mark
Life inspires one
by its awesome
connectedness
Follow it
Prove it
Zestfully chase it
Peruse it
and it will come back
to you
many fold
Become the expert
of your journey
Life is waiting
to speak to you
and me
All of us
need All of us
in the simple
journey of life
Paradigm: great quotes and ideas inspire poems, songs, articles, and books.

Act
Act
take initiative
be in the stream
join the struggle
of life about you
take on
challenge
be there
as the need arises
learning as you go
perhaps to say
just in time
I know

Self-knowledge is best learned, not by contemplation, but by action. Strive to do your duty and you will soon discover of what stuff you are made. Goethe

Music, Daily
Daily
I talk to my guitar
and it gives me back more
daily
I review favorite melodies
and other musical thoughts
grace my path
daily
I lift my voice in song
each day a new song
embraces the life around me
capturing the imagination
daily
music rings free
like the wind in the trees
and the sun and moon
music
a simple expression
grows more and more
by expression
daily
use it or lose it
whether I beat a drum
or play the bass
or take the harmonica
out for a ride
daily
it is music
daily

Character
Character
we all know
a character
when we see one
distinctive
unique
awkwardly delightful
humbly insightful
character is born
with each step
along the road of life
somewhere inside
there is a compass
a pathfinder
character shows life
with purpose
vigor and vim
reaching out
touching other lives
finding a harmony within
building a harmony
without
