THE AMAZON, THE BIGGEST RIVER IN THE WORLD

I have been fortunate to have visited this magnificent river three times.

Each time you go to a different area, it doesn’t matter where you start.

It will amaze you as it works its way on a path that winds

Through the jungle to a very different, unique part.

The animals are watching you all the way

Glad to see you if you don’t stay.

It’s their private home after all.

You are allowed to visit.

And have a ball.

But move on

Don’t stall.

          As we age, we should share our insight and knowledge with humanity. As we get older, we should not accumulate. Rather, we should shed our responsibilities to find our real self and live as who we are rather than who we were to others. I will choose to see my life not as another book to be written, but as a rock in the stream of life, to be reshaped by the waters as they rush past me into something new. 

          Success is no longer a goal. Wondering how a bird makes its nest is. I must leave the intoxication of success for the peace of metaphysical endeavors. We are happiest when we are striving for the things in life that are embedded and personal in our world. No Fear, only love and kindness that bring joy to me and others around me. I can only do this if I discard the various layers of denial of my physical and mental evaporation as I age, and leave the competition in life to a younger generation.

My car has a button for pretty much everything 

There’s even one that says rear wiper.

I have been too shy John Deere The bugs are to push that one 

And wondered how they knew

I could use that.
