Oh, the places you'll go!


There are some down the
road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much
you won't want to go on.

But on you will go though the
weather be foul.On you will go
though your enemies prowl.
On you will go though the
Hakken-Krakshowl.Onward
up many a frightening creek,
though your arms may get
so red and your sneakers may leak.

On and on you will hike.
And I know you'll hike far and
face up to your problems
whatever they are.

You'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.

You'll get mixed up with many
strange birds as you go.

So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact and remember that

Life's a Great Balancing Act.

Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)

Kid, you'll move mountains!

So, be your name Buxbaum
or Bixby or Bray or
Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So, get on your way!

  •  The journey is my home.I'm a nomad.

  • Love and gratitude to the universe for conspiring.It's definitely an overdose of me! Stop maadi!

Stories keep me sane!

Ola,

All of us have a mixed bag of stories, the one that we 
quickly pull out and narrate.Stories in the Telling 
it is because stories are always under construction 
and we tell them the best way we remember.
Fact becomes fiction and fiction becomes fact. 
It's fuzzy!  Nevertheless,stories keep me sane. 
Right now I'm loving basking in the winter spirit
and the stories will start rolling soon.
