The Violinist It was an affair I, felt alone though in a room with a thousand others At his first movement I was enthralled His talent and vigor completely seduced me I could watch and listen for a lifetime The sweetest sound ever to enter my ears He made the strings sing as if he played for me alone my eyes flooded, my heart danced and his music touched my soul Copyright �2002

Take care as you move through life Building the webs you weave That you not capture unintentionally The butterfly you fail to see Copyright �2002

Work like you don't need the money Dance like nobody is watching Love like you have never been hurt The secret to life?... Be happy, try not to hurt other people, hope you find true love.

People Are Gifts To the friends that have come, and gone so fast. We enter the world alone, and leave alone Everything in between is a gift. Especially the people that come into our lives, we never know how long we have them, they are the greatest gifts of all. We must decide whether to open and enjoy each gift, or to just look at the wrappings. I live each day like a child at Christmas, tearing the wrappings, disregarding beauty. I want to know the contents of every gift. To experience the joy or disappointment each will bring. Each is a mystery novel, I don't read the last page, putting it away. I don't want to just know the ending. I want to know the story, the joy, suspense, intrigue, laughter, tears, anguish, satisfaction, adventure, the understanding. Without the story, the ending is meaningless. I think that each person is an adventure, a story to be told, everyone is a gift. Copyright �2002

Always do right-this will gratify some, and astonish the rest. Let the world know you as you are, not as you wish you would be.  For if you are posing, sooner or later you shall forget the pose, and then where will you be? All habits gather by unseen degrees....as brooks make rivers, rivers flow to seas. Never think or speak that which you would not have come true.  Your mind is more powerful that you know.  That which it fixes upon, shall come to be, be it foul or good, it shall come to be.  We are made to persist, that is how we find out who we are. We are programmed for success....God did not create me to fail...I am a winner, and a winner I will always be.

When a friend is living though the darkest of nights...let it be the light within you that gives them comfort of the dawn to come.  When it is a stranger that is living through the darkest of nights, let your light shine twice as bright.
