try to be a help

This is why we should share it all.

Light from the perfect sun
is slicing through the air
like radio-waves.
On my radio today
there is some fine music,
and the sun is talking to me
through the beams of light,
saying, "We all live here.
Friend, we all need a home."
And so we do, friend, so we do.

James Lee Jobe

        “Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.”

Kurt Vonnegut

BILL EVANS - WALTZ FOR DEBBY

The all you can eat buffet.

You can, if you choose, chop down life

with the machete of your words. Or not.

Anger. Rage. Hate. Indifference.

It’s a matter of choice in the end.

-Or- you could choose to just go on.

To have a life of meaning.

Be humble. Live simply,

Attempt kindness.

Try to be a help,

not a hindrance.

Eat life one moment at a time,

no more, but also no less.

James Lee Jobe

from the middle of the rain

a skylark song
