Escapades
What good are cherished memories if they are buried in a grave, encapsulated within an urn or scattered to the winds? How stimulating it has been to transpose these cherished memories onto anticipating pages that can be shared by near and dear or anyone at any time.
The process of reaching into the furthest recesses of my mind and retrieving scenes and deeds has actually brought all these into surprisingly sharp focus, almost to the extent that I can relive or reponder what could so easily have just been left to fade and drain away.
Every single person on this earth is a potential living book from which you can learn or share or just appreciate. What I have retrieved from the recesses of my mind and transformed into tangible form are just snippets taken from the many years that have been allotted to me.
These are snippets that I think of as escapades in a long and varied life that I wish to share.

In Peace
Hey, people!
Why are you in a hurry? What to compare? How to achieve?
Yes, people
We need to survive, to fight, to seize.
We need to live!
Wait, people.
You have eyes to see, you can breathe, and you can hear.
You have a brain to function, and you have a soul to serve.
You have everything in your hands; see what you have got here.
Look, and be patient.
Life is not a goal after goal, always chasing, never satisfied.
In the end, the spirit will be gone anyway.
Or it may come back or not, but that is not important.
See, you are here now.
Come close and behold.
Everything has been built inside of you already.
All you need is just to be YOU!
Wow, people.
How simple is that? How easy is that? How impossible is that?
Now, people
Relax, lighten up, put down
Leave a space here and think of nothing.
Smile, go big, and laugh.
It's time, people.
It is the right time, the exact moment, the absolute present.
Free, people
Free your muscle, your nerve, your thought.
Give yourself back to YOU.
For this long, long time, you owe yourself a favor.
You suppress so hard that you forget who you really are.
Next, people
To continue the special journey
With every footstep
With all the confidence
With your precious heart beaten
Please, people.
In Peace
Wish all the prosperity will go along with you forever.
